I came across this error message today as well. I recently upgraded
my svn server to 1.8.1. I have been dumping my repos and loading them
into new repos.
On one particular repo, I get this error when doing the following command:
svn log -l 4 http://server/repo/branches
I get the error about 50% of the time. Interestingly when I run the
same command against http://server/repo/trunk I never get the error.
I tried disabling compression with --config-option
servers:global:http-compression=off and when I do this about 50% of
the time I get only the first two log entries. But no error is
reported.
So far I've only noticed the problem on one repo. I even did the
dump/load a second time an the results are the same.
