I've logged an issue in the serf project: https://code.google.com/p/serf/issues/detail?id=91 This needs to be fixed first, so that the 408 Request Timeout response is not considered an error, but is passed to svn like a normal response. In ra_serf/handle_response we can then decided what to do, like retrying the request once. [..] Lieven
