Commit failures on large commits

We're seeing failures a lot of the time (but not always) when we try to
commit large amounts of data (this is an initial import with several
hundred MB and over 20000 files). Here is a recent example:

 

svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Server sent unexpected return value (401 Authorization Required) in
response to PUT request for '/eng/[repo
name]/!svn/wrk/ce3b1242-8c86-c340-ab31-857105e2e732/[some path/file]'

 

We're using NTLM with SSL cache timeout at 40,000 and
Maxkeepaliverequests 0 (infinite). Prior to these settings we were
seeing errors more like this:

 

svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: MKCOL of '/eng2/[repo
name]/!svn/wrk/cb9d7151-437a-da41-b995-681352de7321/[some path] ':
authorization failed (https://[server name])

 

I don't know whether these are essentially the same or different. We
have also enabled basic authentication (I believe it's SSPIOfferBasic
On). Some of this is due to our network environment here, but some of
it based on things I read at
http://www.nabble.com/SSPI-reauthentication-during-commit-fails-it-td973
2674.html#a9868837 and
http://www.nabble.com/TortoiseSVN,-HTTPS,-SSPI-combination-causes-(401-A
uthorization-Required)-errors-on-large-volume-repository-modifications-t
d15439239.html . It sounds like some of the problems may be with the
neon Http library, but we're using 1.5.2 (CollabNet client under
Windows). The server is 1.5.2 running Apache 2.2 under Windows as well.

 

We have also seen problems when trying to move multiple
directories/files using the TortoiseSVN 1.5.3 repo-browser, but it
appears to us as though one of the above settings may have resolved this
issue. We're not sure if these two problems are related or not.

 

Note that most other operations seem to be working fine.

 

Has anyone seen similar problems, or know what to try to make this more
stable?
