svn client timing out and corrupting WC state

Question

When I commit large changes - hundreds of megabytes - the client timesout even though the check-in does go through.

When I right-click on WC and show log, TSVN shows that WC revision does NOT get updated even though the check-in actually occurred.

I've tried using TortoiseSVN 1.9.5, Build 27581 - 64 Bit and command line svn version 1.9.5 (r1770682).

QUESTION

Is there a way to increase the timeout of the client?

Answer 1

If you are using HTTP to connect to the server (as it appears to be the case) you can increase (or disable) the time out with the http-timeout directive, as explained at Runtime Configuration Area:

http-timeout

This specifies the amount of time, in seconds, to wait for a server response. If you experience problems with a slow network connection causing Subversion operations to time out, you should increase the value of this option. In Subversion 1.8 (or older versions employing the Serf-based HTTP provider), use the value 0 to disable the timeout altogether.

Just make sure you aren't merely masking a problem (it's strange that commit completes successfully but server response doesn't make through).
