This is indeed a svn client library problem. It can easily be seen
by capturing the http client request with a network protocol analyzer.
The request clearly shows a negative size being sent by the client in
the http header. I reported it to the svn list awhile ago, but no
resolution was found at the time. (I started debugging it, but quickly
got lost in some unfamiliar svn code.)
We have some 20GB+ sized transactions done over http. The limitation is
the compressed delta size of one individual file in the transaction.
(At the time I didn't test serf, but if both exhibit the problem, then
it is a problem with the common code that computes the file size to be
placed in the http header.)
FYI, I tested 1.5 versions of TortoiseSVN, command line from windows,
command line from Linux (both 32 and 64 bit redhat) and command line
from Solaris, and all exhibited the same problem to servers running on
Linux, Solaris, and Windows.
I did observe this DOES work correctly using the svn:// protocol, if
that is an option...
