Hi, when running svn with ra_serf on some test repositories I found a consistent failure checking out a part of the gnome svn repository.
This command: $ svn co http://svn.gnome.org/svn/gimp/trunk/tools/pdbgen/pdb /tmp/tr1 aborts after a while with error: subversion/svn/checkout-cmd.c:168: (apr_err=175009) subversion/libsvn_client/checkout.c:230: (apr_err=175009) subversion/libsvn_client/update.c:555: (apr_err=175009) subversion/libsvn_client/update.c:413: (apr_err=175009) subversion/libsvn_ra_serf/update.c:2368: (apr_err=175009) subversion/libsvn_ra_serf/update.c:2368: (apr_err=175009) subversion/libsvn_ra_serf/util.c:1499: (apr_err=175009) subversion/libsvn_ra_serf/util.c:1499: (apr_err=175009) subversion/libsvn_ra_serf/util.c:1256: (apr_err=175009) svn: E175009: XML parsing failed: (207 Multi-Status) The XML parsing fails on the response [1] of a PROPFIND request, on tag "<C:text/x-perl/>". Strangely enough this is what's returned from the server, it's not what serf makes of it. When running svn with ra_neon, these response are all returned as one update-report, with different syntax, which the xml parser handles without problem: <S:set-prop name=\"text/x-perl\"> Digging a bit deeper, it turns out that file text_layer.pdb has a property with name "text/x-perl", where that should be the value of property svn:mime-type. This probably shouldn't work in ra_neon either, but both should give a nice error message. In fact, this property results in an ugly error with ra_neon too: $ svn pl http://svn.gnome.org/svn/gimp/trunk/tools/pdbgen/pdb/text_layer.pdb subversion/libsvn_ra_neon/util.c:608: (apr_err=175002) svn: PROPFIND of '/svn/gimp/!svn/bc/28270/trunk/tools/pdbgen/pdb/text_layer.pdb': 207 Multi-Status (http://svn.gnome.org) Shall I report this as an error message improvement issue?
