Including Zend Framework using svn-externals, svn update fails half way

Question

I would like to include Zend Framework into my repository using svn:externals = -r24607 http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/standard/tags/release-1.11.9/library/Zend/ Zend .

I am using Tortoise SVN TortoiseSVN 1.6.16 on Windows 7.

When I try to run update, after a hundred files or so I get:

Error: REPORT of '/svn/framework/!svn/vcc/default': Could not read response body: An
Error: existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
Error: (http://framework.zend.com)

I can run the update again, and it will add more files, however after a hundred files or so it will fail again.

What could be the problem? Do I have something misconfgured?

Answer 1

You don't have misconfigured anything, but I think the defaults of Subversion (or TortoiseSVN) are not working well under your circumstances. If the checkout normally works, but halfway breaks, the normal reason is that the connection is not stable or too slow.

These are the workarounds:

• If you have configured a proxy section in your servers file (TortoiseSVN > Settings > Network > Subversion server file > Edit), the timeout set for Subversion may be too short. You can set it directly in the servers file. See Runtime Configuration Area, and search there for timeout.
• Just restart the update up to the point that it finishes normally.

You may check if a normal checkout of the path http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/standard/tags/release-1.11.9/library/Zend/ works well, but I don't think so.
