This discussion is specifically talking about when a 411 status is returned, not a 413. You talked about building subversion locally fixing the behavior, but that wouldn't have changed the default value for the http-chunked-requests configuration. > later we have: > > The Serf-based HTTP access library would use chunked transfer encoding for > most > requests.

Yes, and later in that same document we have: Subversion 1.8.1 fixes this issue by detecting automatically whether chunked requests are supported at the set up of a session. This is done by issuing one additional request at the start of the session. Subversion 1.8.10 is newer than 1.8.1 and therefore has the above mentioned fix. > so obviously u dont have how to test, and package dont have any of these > guaranties..

I'm not being defensive. I'm trying to understand the actual problem, since what you're describing is not related to the release notes you are quoting.
