Thanks for the info. Unfortunately it is hard to diagnose a server
error when the error message from the server itself is misleading. As
you say this is not a common error at all because it doesn't come up
in Google, so adding a suggestion to TortoiseSVN is unlikely to be
helpful to anyone.
But it would be worth sending this information to the Subversion users
mailing list in the hope that the server code can be fixed to produce
a better error message.
