Hello,
We've had various reports with this error message over the years. The cause
is usually a server side or network issue, but there doesn't seem to be a
common theme of one particular cause. Causes have ranged from anything from
antivirus software to network configurations to firewalls to old versions
of SVN on the server. If you search for the exact text of the error message
in our mailing list archives (see [1], you'll find discussions and
(hopefully) what fixed it for different people. There's also the
StackOverflow question at [2].
You mentioned that you are using Subversion Edge. Do you know whether the
version of Subversion Edge on the repository server is the latest
available?
>From your screenshot it appears you are using TortoiseSVN on the client
(your computer). What version of TortoiseSVN are you using?
Also do you know whether you're going through a proxy?
Is the repository server on the same LAN as your client computer, or across
a VPN, or...?
When you say it stalls, is there a noticeable delay? Approximately how long
(seconds? minutes?)
Cheers,
Nathan
