A quick search on Google

You need to increase your file-max limit on your kernel. This will
require a restart of your server.

Subject: Commit fails: Too many open files

Hi,

Sometimes we have a problem when committing a file (single file, not a
large number of them) where the commit fails with a message such as:
Too many open files
svn: REPORT request failed on '/svn/products/!svn/vcc/default'
svn: Can't open file '/data/svn/products/db/revs/21380': Too many open
files

 So far this has only happened (to my knowledge) when accessing through
apache. As a workaround I've been able to make the change in another
location and commit via svnserve.

We're using svn 1.4.3 (fsfs), apache 2.0.55 on red hat enterprise 4,
with the client machine running eclipse on windows.

Has anyone got ideas on how we can stop getting this problem?

Thanks,

Glenn
