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

I encountered same problem when trying to check out an svn repository. After
a lot of research I was able to narrow it down to an MTU mismatch problem.
This does happen if the server is running behind a reduced MTU interface
such as PPPoE behind DSL. The fix is simple:

1. If you are running a linux server add the following line to
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth<n> (assuming that your svn is
served over interface n).

MTU=1492

Don't forget to do

ifdown eth<n> && ifup eth<n>

2. For a windows server enable wan response on the PPPoE device (DSL modem
or router)
