Hi everybody.

I have similar problem now with ra_serf as well.
Subversion server version 1.5.2* (*r32768)
Client version 1.8.8 (r1568071) using ra_serf 1.3.3
The offset between the local and server mergeinfo was 16 characters.

We have found a way to fix the problem. To do so, we need to reduce the 
size of the mergeinfo.
Here is how :
- ssh to svn server
- find the repository location (in this example, /srv/svn/repos/myrepo)
- do a local checkout of the branch with too long mergeinfo (not through 
http !)
   svn co file:///srv/svn/repos/myrepo/myproject/branches/2.4
- check the mergeinfo o the problematic file to know where you can simplify 
the mergeinfo
   e.g. here we had a lot of merge from branch 2.0 for the file 
path/path/path/Foo.java
   /myproject/branches/2.0/path/path/path/Foo.java:
39126-43104,43469,44672,44705,44723,44736,44749,44794,44796,44805,44825,44831,44833,44852,44855,44865,44876,44879,44883,44887,44889,44905,44907,44912-44914,44919,44923,44947,44955,44957,44964,45007-45008,45069,45111,45114,45126,45128-45129,45142,45169,45202,45233,45341,45349,45351,45409,45425,45441,45460,45564,45568,45573,45575,45594-45595,45603,45626,45637,45654,45785,45827-45829,45832,45868,45871,45874,45877,45891,45917,45965,46000,46010,46014,46018,46024,46026,46030-46031,46038,46060,46073,46094,46109,46123,46130,46134,46159,46186,46190,46197,46210,46270,46304,46360,46363,46442-46443,46451,46470,46477-46478,46480-46481,46486-46488,46506,46509,46520,46539,46556,46561,46574,46582,46590,46595,46599,46604,46606,46752-46753,46755,46779-46780,46851-46852,46859,46864,46886,46903-46904,46923,46929,46984-46985,47011,47022,47040,47105,47120,47182,47205,47207-47208,47211,47238,47247,47253,47258,47288,47300,47302,47358,47377,47381,47407,47409-47410,47435,47514,47516,47522,47524,47536,47544,47553,47598,47605,47611,47615,47619,47622,47654,47711,47764,47923,47936,48023,48096,48164,48170-48171,48183,48290,48649,48666-48667,48755,48829,48897,48959,48962-48963,48982,48989,48991,49060,49068,49174,49184-49185,49205,49241,49269,49296,49312,49314,49319,49330,49343,49393,49400,49402,49413,49499,49509,49518-49519,49571,49582,49614,49756,49758,49768,49907-49908,50108,50252,50255,50259,50290,50398,50466,50490-50494,50497-50500,50708,50754,50756,50758-50760,50764-50765,50767-50770,50776,50781,51186,51284,51353,51357,51365,51521,51558,51574,51578,51665,51713,51752,51886,51889-51890,51980,51982-51985,51990,51997,52179,52205,52304,52357,52406,52413,52615,52620-52622,52703,52995,53007,53128,53205,53309-53310,53313,53315,53318-53323,53325,53328-53329,53533,53670,53879,53961,54027-54029,54131,54376,54526-54527,55374,55634,55653,55758,55808,56225,56450,57112,57421,57470,57631,57647,57734,57739,58308,58317,58357,58359,58378,58381,58421,58438-58440
- merge the complete range of the previously identified branch (use file 
protocol !)
   svn merge -r39126:58440 
file:///srv/svn/repos/myrepo/myproject/branches/2.0
- check the merge (should be no other change than property changes) and 
that the mergeinfo is indeed reduced
   svn status
   svn propget svn:mergeinfo Foo.java
- if you don't have local commit write like here, switch to remote http 
protocol
   svn switch --relocate 
file:///srv/svn/repos/myrepo/myproject/branches/2.4 
http://svn.server.url/repos/myrepo/myproject/branches/2.4
- commit
   svn commit -m "[MERGE:39126-58440] Reduced mergeinfo (merge range of 
already merged revisions)"

Now you can just update your remote repository, it's not necessary to do a 
clean checkout.

Note that even with this method the mergeinfo will one day be too long, 
because it contains merge info from all old branches too, so it will grow 
each time a new branch appears and gets merged.
Further cleaning could be done, like removing all closed branches and tags.

Hope this helps,
Christophe
