Re: svn copy fails with 400 Bad request

I am having the same issue, it's very frustrating. I setup a test repo,
created a directory called "testdir", and created a test text file in
that directory. I then made a commit, and updated my working copy. Next
I issued the command "svn copy testdir testdir2" which worked without
issue. When trying to commit however, I got the following error:

$ svn commit
Adding testdir2
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: COPY of testdir2: 400 Bad Request (https://devel.propagation.net)
svn: Your commit message was left in a temporary file:
svn: '/tmp/test/svn-commit.tmp'

This is not a firewall/anti-virus issue, I am connecting using SSL, and
there are no modules such as mod_security on the server. Here is the
setup I'm using:

Server: Debian Lenny with apache2 (2.2.9), subversion 1.5.1, and
mod_dav_svn 1.5.1
Client: Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.1 with subversion 1.4.6

Also of note I have this same issue regardless of the client I use (I
have tried my 3 other systems, one of which is Windows XP using
TortoiseSVN). I have this same issue on another server running Ubuntu
Hardy 8.04.1, apache2 (2.2.8), subversion 1.4.6 and mod_dav_svn 1.4.6.

While there is no error in the apache error log, there is an entry in
the access log, and it shows the return code is 400. Here is the entry
from the log file:

66.34.9.1 - andrewl [26/Aug/2008:15:15:48 -0500] "COPY
/svn/test/!svn/bc/3/testdir HTTP/1.1" 400 388 "-" "SVN/1.4.6 (r28521)
neon/0.27.2"

When I use svn+ssh and file schemes, everything works without issue. I
believe this may be a bug with mod_dav_svn, if I get the time I will try
to compile from source and see if I can still recreate the issue.

Below is a copy of my configuration file for apache:

NameVirtualHost *

        ServerAdmin andrewl_at_hostingsupport.com

        </Location>

        <LocationMatch /svn/*/>
                AuthzSVNAccessFile /etc/svn/authz

        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
        LogLevel warn
        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
        ServerSignature On
</VirtualHost>

Any help would be greatly appreciated, this problem is pretty annoying.

Thank you,
