I have a couple of large files I'm trying to commit... 512MB, 668MB, 724MB, 928MB, 948MB, 1.97GB, 2.70GB

These are the errors I'm getting

Error: Commit failed (details follow):

Error: PUT of

Error: '/svn-documents/!svn/wrk/6f3dec2d-61b9-c64d-b390-4a7f8bec50db/path/Class.one':

Error: Could not send request body: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the

Error: remote host.

Error:  (my site)

To get this error, I right click on the file, then click SVN Commit. I then press okay at the next window. It starts to transfer the file and then gives me the error.

Is there a way around this? Maybe another way I can put the file there, even manually?

EDIT: based on some research, this may be a Dreamhost issue not allowing commits of greater than .5GB... so some sort of workaround would be great.

Increasing the LimitRequestBody on the server can also help in these situations.

There is no limit to SVN but there might be limits on hard drive space, operating system limitation to temporary directory at both sender and receiver ends. Also there is a possibility of timeout by your router or internet connection.

Is this error immidiate or does it come after a fixed amount of delay. Try uploading the smallest file first and if not try a file of about 20 MB. Hit and Trial might solve the mystery which may easily be resolved from log files on repository.

  • It happens after a delay... it sends part of the file and then I get the error. I was able to commit a 300MB file so approx that seems to be the limit. – AllisonC Sep 07 '11 at 21:17
