[svk-devel] Error on 'svk sync -s'

[Daniel J. Luke]

Does it only happen when you connect over ssl?

I think it might be due to a change in the latest openssl (the one I  
mentioned on the macports mailing list).

If it's the same issue we see with the macports subversion  
repository, you can just re-try a bunch of times and it will  
eventually work (and you can replicate the problem by using 'openssl  
s_client' to connect to the problematic server).
