Trouble merging: PROPFIND request failed 401

I'm getting an error when I try to merge a branch into a wc of trunk and
am confused about what it means and how to proceed.

Here's what I see:

  $ svn merge -r741:HEAD $URL/branches/CaPSim-integration
  svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/tor/group-etzioni/!svn/vcc/default'
  svn: PROPFIND of '/tor/group-etzioni/!svn/vcc/default': 401
  Authorization Required (https://hedgehog)

Some background:

Client and server both running on Linux at version 1.1.1.  Repository is
only served via https.  We are using mod_authz to manage access control.
I have rw access in the authz config file for the entire repository.

I am able to update and commit from the trunk wc.  The cached auth
credentials seem to work:

  $ svn update
  At revision 768.


I've taken a peek at the the Apache access log and have attached the
relevant log below.   It looks like it asks for authentication again
when it hits the tools dir, but I have no idea why.

Re: [RESOLVED] Trouble merging: PROPFIND request failed 401

Posted by Seth Falcon <sf...@fhcrc.org>.
Thanks to help from maxb in #svn, I tracked this issue down to a bug
in mod_ntlm2 which we are using for authenticating against Windows
domain controllers.

Turning NTLMAuth off and going through BasicAuth allowed the merge to
complete without error.  It seems something (perhaps depth of the wc)
triggers a bug in mod_ntlm2 where appropriate auth headers are not
sent to the client.
