I have a code repository of 2.2 GB and a lot of files. A full checkout will take around 1 hour.
I just upgraded to SVN 1.8. During a fresh checkout I got the following error: Error: In file Error: 'D:\Development\SVN\Releases\TortoiseSVN-1.8.0\ext\subversion\subversion\libsvn_ra_serf\util.c' Error: line 1649: internal malfunction First time I've seen it. Ryan
