It's definitely this case. I'm not using BDB as my repository. Well,
I don't think I am. I installed via rpm, so I guess I don't know that
for a fact. I found the Apache directive I believe you referenced
(LimitXMLRequestBody) and set it to 0 to disable the limit, but still
no go. The error I get when trying to commit the merge is:
COPY of path/to/file.ext: could not connect to server (http://saiprojects).
The actual fail on which the commit fails varies, but the message is the same.
I'd like to remove the network from the equation, but unfortunately, I
just can't do that. Any other suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks.
