I have some information on this issue. http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3264
(Hoping we could get a fix for this. The workaround is not really okay for automatic scripts).
Running svn client either from cli (cygwin) (or from gui: tortioise-svn) from relatively slow VMs.
A relatively large repository is being checked out. VM is slow, and there are lots of instances where
svn client TCP windows goes to zero, and then opens up again. (As against a relatively fast client, where
such fluctuations were not seen). client setting: http-timeout = 1800. This is from a cli/cygwin client:

----------------------------------------------------------
Client bails out saying:
svn: REPORT of '/xxx/yyy/!svn/vcc/default': Could not read response body: connection was closed by server (http://subversion.xxxxxx.com)
Clearly, this client is not waiting enough for the server to send more data. There is a delay of about half a second where nothing is received from the server. After the second ACK from client (172.17.37.63) to subversion server (10.74.40.232) the next packet is has a FIN..! Server has been silent
for approximately 4 seconds in the end --whether it reset or is just preparing data to send I can not say, though server apache error-logs have errors showing it could not write base64 data, but that could be the result of this client sending a FIN. After all, server did not close the TCP connection.
In some prior runs, where I captured the whole session, the gap between server' last data packet and svn client sending a FIN is much smaller (0.05 seconds, approx):
