[SVN-4634] ra_serf fails to replace directory containing many files

• Type: Bug
• Status: Open
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Unresolved
• Affects Version/s: 1.8.11

Description

ra_serf can fail to commit the replacement of a directory containing locked files.

The issue occurs, if the directory which is to be replaced contains multiple locks.

The problem is related to Apache httpd's LimitRequestFieldSize setting, which SVN can exceed in cases of multiple locks being involved.

Note: According to SVN-4557 (which this bugreport was split up from) the issue was introduced as part of the fix for SVN-3674. Hence it actually affects 1.8.10 already (couldn't select it in the version list though - therefore selected the next version instead).
