haproxy + Subversion

Is anyone successfully using haproxy in front of a SVN server -- whether
only as a proxy or in a load balancing scenario?

If I try this with a SVN 1.8 client and server it fails almost immediately
due to connection resets. This manifests as checksum errors or hangs on
the client, but they can be seen in wireshark captures. If I
add --config-option=servers:global:http-bulk-updates=yes to the client then
it works.

I am assuming there are people that successfully use haproxy with
Subversion and this must be a configuration problem. If so, could you
share your settings?

I am trying to terminate SSL at haproxy, but it also has the reset problems
with plain HTTP.
