I'll see if I can get this done but, right now, it
doesn't look likely.

The local commit succeeded which supports your theory
(although it doesn't rule out something happening on
the client). If I run into the problem again, I'll
try going through Apache from the repo server. If it
still fails, it's an extremely good indication that it
is what you suspect.

Actually, I'll see if I can set up another repo to
test with. I'll let you know if I get the chance to
do this.

Thanks,
Noel
