I tried using svnsync because i receive the malformed header error
when attempting to dump my repo. Svnsync fails after eight revisions

(SVN version 1.4.0 (r21228))

Console output:
...
Committed revision 8.
Copied properties for revision 8.
Committed revision 9.
Copied properties for revision 9.
svnsync: REPORT request failed on 'https://<url removed>'
svnsync: REPORT of 'https://<url removed>': 200 OK (https://<url
removed>)
