TortoiseSVN checkout failed error svn: E120106: ra_serf: The server sent a truncated HTTP response body

Question

TortoiseSVN shows the error svn: E120106: ra_serf: The server sent a truncated HTTP response body during checkout operation. How to solve the problem?

Answer 1

SVN 1.8 includes a new HTTP client library (Serf).

which I think is responsible for this. I had installed TortoiseSVN-1.8.6.25419-x64-svn-1.8.8.msi and performing svn merge gave same error. Initially I though it is problem with svn server timeouts but same merge operation worked with 1.6. So I guess problem is with SVN version 1.8 and above. Please revert your svn client version to 1.7 or 1.6 and try!
