All instances where I have seen this were caused by limits set in the
HTTP server on the size of requests and responses. This usually isn't
a problem when using SVN itself as its sessions tend to be shortlived.
In some cases it's possible to reproduce the error by running "svn log
-v <repository-root>".

bzr-svn should be able to use the site's password if it was cached by
svn itself. You can get svn to cache the password by e.g. running 'svn
ls <repo-url>'.

Cheers.
