Re: error - "Provider encountered an error while streaming a REPORT response. [500, #0]"

I thought you had to be running Apache 2.2 in order to support large
files ( > 2 GB).

I am a little surprised that it would not issue an "intelligible"
error message if that was the case though.

In testing I've done, you cannot commit files > 2 GB from a Windows
client via http because the Neon library does not support this. It is
fixed for non-Windows platforms in 1.5.6+, but it still does not work
on Windows. With the SVN 1.6.0 client you can use the Serf library in
place of Neon and it works.
