Hi Patrick,
We were able to resolve this issue by adding an exception to our
internal cache servers to not cache data for our svn repository. For
whatever reason, possibly a bug in the cache software, the cache was
responding to the first MKACTIVITY request. I recommend checking the
apache access log after you see the "Commit failed MKACTIVITY of ... 200
OK" error to see if the request ever made it to your svn server. If the
MKACTIVTY request does not appear in the access log then the request was
handled before it reached your svn server.

Subject: RE: MKACTIVITY ERROR 200 OK during commit
Hi,
I've come across another instance of the problem described in the email
below (quoted in full, since it was from a few months ago). Basically,
when a commit is attempted, a message "Commit failed MKACTIVITY of ...
200 OK"
message is displayed and the commit fails. Retrying the commit
immediately often succeeds. In my case the versions are as described
below.
Searching the archives I did find one thread with a similar error, but
the only response I saw referred to case-sensitivity issues, and that
wouldn't seem to apply here since (a) both systems are Unix-based and
thus case-sensitive, and (b) that sort of ptoblem shouldn't go away on a
retry...
Does anybody have any insight into what might be wrong? I can provide
more details / debugging if needed.
Many thanks for your help,
Patrick
