So if Apache is timing out, I should be able to increase the timeout time.
However, wouldn't that imply that there is a limit to how big a file I can
check into Subversion?? I can keep increasing the time, but at some point
the purpose of the Apache timeout (cleaning up dead connections) is
defeated.
Also, Apache timing out seems like a weird reason. I mean, the SVN client
should be blasting data to the server as fast as it can to get the large
file committed. How could Apache's timeout come into play here?
thanks,
David
