I think you can control this from the client-side with the setting
http-max-connections
in the file "servers" in the client-side configuration area. From
TortoiseSVN I think you can edit this configuration file by going to
the Settings > Network, and click "Edit" next to "Subversion server
file".
I don't know whether there is a way to control this from the server-side.
The default for Subversion 1.8 or higher is 4.
In Subversion 1.7 or lower SVN used another http library (neon), and
everything was piped over 1 connection. As of Subversion 1.8 the
project switched to "serf" http library (see
http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.8.html#neon-deleted).
As of 1.8 it is very important that the server is configured to allow
connections to be kept alive for a reasonable time, by configuring
"MaxKeepAliveRequests 1000" or 10000 or even higher in your apache
configuration serving SVN (this is explained in the above release
note). If your problem is related to the amount of connections that
are *created* all the time, this might help a lot.
If your problem is not related to the "creation" of the tcp
connections, but merely to their amount in existence (at the same
time), maybe one thing you can try from the server-side is to add this
directive to your apache configuration serving SVN:
SVNAllowBulkUpdates Prefer
This will instruct the clients to prefer "bulk updates", so they get
their entire "update response" in one giant response, instead of lots
of tiny GET requests. That might reduce the average amount of
connections the clients use.
BTW: SVN 1.7, 1.8 and 1.9 are end-of-life (they probably still work,
and might do the job for you, but bugs will no longer be fixed).
HTH,
