We have experienced the "207 Multi-status" error in subversion when diffing to revisions of a file. A search for a solution, and posting to the user list did not help us, so we still live with the problem that only has appeared for some files. It might have something to do with a SCM conversion utility that we have used, but we don't know.
It seems to me that the 207 message is not an error message seen from Apache, rather an informative message, but that SVN interprets it as an error somehow. I would be glad to find out more about this ........
Sorry for not being able to help out more ....

Self-bump and post to dev list also. Posting 2 days before Christmas
seems to be a bad way to get a response ... ;>
