Hmmm...all I know so far is that it has worked reliably for the last 6
months or so. At work I serve it off my own machine using svn+ssh, but
when I'm at home I access the same repository with svn+ssh through a VPN
tunnel. It's much, much slower but I haven't seen any timeouts. I will
keep this in mind if we start to see problems. (We're pretty Mac-centric
here, so there's really no choice of platform unless we see problems.)

Thanks,
Rush
