Without looking at the logs for the particular errors... This is most 
likely due to the know bug in HTTPS+WebDav. It's more prevalent the 
busier the web server is. And since we opened the docs to the bots 
again, and there's now a wordpress install that's being used it's 
showing up more.

I'm with Volodya on this.. We should try and move to using the SVN 
protocol directly to make things much faster for everyone. Baring that, 
we should move regular HTTP+WebDav ASAP.

But I'll see if I can do some minor tweaks to the server to alleviate 
the issue.
