Similar issue for me as well. The checkout fails in a directory that
contains thousands of image files. And similarly, the problem is with the
script that pushes the updates to website. This script sometimes has to do a
clean checkout and that is when the issues pops up.

Until I can get to fix this, I have 'solved' it by also starting svnserve so
the repo can be accessed using svn://. There are no issues accessing it
through svn:// and so quite likely the issue lies in apache/apr.
