I must say I don't immediately have an idea why this fails with
mod_dav_svn, and not with file:///.

I did compare with httpd.conf settings we have set on our server (but
I must say we never had such large commits). These are our relevant
settings:

[[[
MaxKeepAliveRequests 20000
KeepAliveTimeout 60
LimitXMLRequestBody 0
MaxMemFree 16384

SVNInMemoryCacheSize 131072
SVNCacheFullTexts off
SVNCacheTextDeltas on
]]]

Maybe you can experiment with some of these settings to see if it
makes a difference?
