I don't think that neon is the problem. But you can switch to serf easily:
* Settings dialog->Network. Edit the servers file (click edit button)
* add the line 'http-library = serf'
* save the file

Now TSVN (and all svn clients) will use serf instead of neon.
Serf itself uses the apr library, which on Windows is always compiled
with large file support.

But I still think it's a server problem since 4GB is the maximum size of
a file if large-file support is not compiled into the apr lib. And if
you're using an FSFS repository, then one revision equals one file - and
you're adding a 4GB file in one revision...
