Any solution to "chunk delimiter was invalid" problem?

Searching the archive, I could find no solution to this problem:

Error: Error while performing action: REPORT request failed on 
'/training/!svn/vcc/default'
REPORT of '/training/!svn/vcc/default': Chunk delimiter was invalid 
(http://172.20.120.102)

This occurs on some repositories, but not others, in svnsync and update 
operations.
What does the path '/training/!svn/vcc/default' mean? This does not 
correspond to an identifiable file. Could we at least have a more 
precise error message to help diagnose the problem? One factor that 
provokes the problem is large repositories, the kind you want to mirror 
with svnsync. I have SVN version 1.4.6.

Thanks.

Re: [Bulk] Any solution to "chunk delimiter was invalid" problem?

Posted by Jonathan Coles <jc...@rogers.com>.
Here are some details as I worked with this issue:

 - Chunk delimiter error after 31.8MB of a 101MB Revision 1 
(non-incremental).

 - Used dump/load to transfer Rev 1 to mirror. Paths added.

 - svnsync then quickly committed revisions 2-13 (4K), then 14 (21M).

 - Chunk delimiter error near the end of 24MB Revision 15.

 - Used incremental dump/load to transfer Rev 15 to mirror. Paths added.

 - svnsync committed Revs 16-133 (231M, largest revision was 7.3MB).

 - Chunk delimiter error near the end of 105MB Revision 134.

 - Used incremental dump/load to transfer Rev 134 to mirror. Paths added.

 - svnsync committed Revs 135-142 (48M, largest revision 6.6MB).

 - Chunk delimiter error near the end of 290MB Revision 143.

So far, the problem occurs when a single revision is larger than 21MB or 
so. This really looks like some sort of error in protocol when 
transferring contents of a large revision. Watching the system monitor, 
I see the high-rate flow of data stop and some small exchanges of data 
every 20 seconds or so: <100 bytes in, <100 bytes out, occasionally 
about 4K bytes in. This continues for about a minute before the chunk 
delimiter error occurs and svnsync terminates.

I hope this helps.
