Cannot svn update, An error occurred during decompression

Question

I have a problem with my remote repo in svn. I am running svn version 1.8.5 on windows 8.1

When I try to do an svn update I get the error svn: E120104: ra_serf: An error occurred during decompression

I am able to do a clean checkout.

Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

We had the same issue, unfortunately it could not be solved by defining the http-compression = nooption. After investigation, it turned out, that an option recommended by HTML5 boilerplate Apache Compression settings caused this issue. We had to temporary disabled the following option:

<IfModule mod_mime.c>
    AddEncoding gzip              svgz
</IfModule>

While AddEncoding gzip svgz was inactive, commit of files which name included the term svgz was possible.
