I kept getting very aggravating timeout issues when trying to reintegrate a branch back into the trunk of one of our large subversion repositories. Tuned apache’s httpd.conf with the following and the problems disappeared.

#
# Timeout: The number of seconds before receives and sends time out.
#
Timeout 60000

#
# KeepAlive: Whether or not to allow persistent connections (more than
# one request per connection).
#
KeepAlive On

# MaxKeepAliveRequests: The maximum number of requests to allow
# during a persistent connection. Set to 0 to allow an unlimited amount.
#
MaxKeepAliveRequests 0

#
# KeepAliveTimeout: Number of seconds to wait for the next request from the
# same client on the same connection.
#
KeepAliveTimeout 60000
