Can you tell us what version of Subversion (client and server) and
Apache HTTPD was used, and what the commit command looked like? How
many files were involved, how big were they?
(The file http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/BUGS has more specific
guidelines on reporting bugs.)
If we can reproduce this, we can fix it. However, we can't reproduce
it right now. I've interrupted commits over ra_dav before, it's never
been a problem. If we learn your special circumstances, that may help
us track the bug down.
Now for the annoyed portion of the mail:
You wrote "I thought I was reasonable specific...." [sic]. Yet your
first mail did not even say *which operation* you were performing that
caused the repository to fail. Never mind advanced esoterica like,
say, the version of Subversion or the access method.
Your mail wasn't reasonably specific, by any stretch of the
imagination. It was uselessly, lazily vague, and you shouldn't be
surprised that it got no useful response.
Good luck with CVS. You make me glad I unsubscribed from their
bug-reporting list.
