I want to check out a SVN repository but it times out. My environment is Windows 7, 64-bits. I tried: 1) TortoiseSVN, a shell-integrated plugin, 2) RapidSVN, a GUI 3) Cygwin by using the commandline 

svn checkout http://ticpp.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/

(I have tried other repositories so it is not that one in particular) Note that the repository is browsable by simply typing the address in Mozilla Firefox.

Whatever I try it fails: app freezes and has to be killed. I cannot even browse the repository or view revision versions.

I have tried turning my firewall off but it did not help.

What could be the cause / what else should I try?

  • I tried a `ping http://ticpp.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/` but it returns that the host cannot be reached. Perhaps all SVN traffic is blocked; also it is my understanding that version control traffic uses the port 3690 which may be blocked. – Hugues Fontenelle May 16 '11 at 12:58

Most likely you're behind a firewall/proxy that either blocks DAV requests explicitly or just drops them because it doesn't understand them.

Either configure your firewall/proxy properly, or try checking out with the https:// url instead of the http:// one. Most firewalls/proxies can then not interfere anymore.

This may be caused by the SVN server. Try to report the problem to your server's admin in order to get help.
