as Bert said, Digest authentication to servers configured with
KeepAlive Off is currently broken in serf 1.2.1, the version used in
svn 1.8.0.
I have a patch that fixes this, as soon as I finish the unit test I'll
commit to serf trunk and make sure it gets included in serf 1.3.0.
Now, I can only advise you to always use KeepAlive On for the server
hosting your Subversion repositories. Svn will make many (small)
requests to the server, and in your configuration a new TCP connection
is opened for every request. I've noticed svnsync performing much
slower with KeepAlive Off.
