There's another issue with the server, it seems. When I do SVN commit,
it never finishes, e.g.:

        ghost_at_wind:~/Work/Boost/boost-svn/tools/build/v2$ svn ci
        Waiting for Emacs...
        Sending        v2/engine/src/compile.c
        Sending        v2/tools/builtin.py
        Transmitting file data ..

stays this way for many minutes (at least 10). However, I have already
received commit email about this commit. So, it seems like something
prevents SVN server from telling the client that commit is actually
done. Killing the client, together with 'svn cleanup', together
with 'svn up' works around this. This started to happen 3 days ago,
and I'm using at least two different network routes. I have svn 1.6.5
locally.

Any ideas?
