'Clean Up' won't fix a 'skipped obstructing working copy' error caused by 'ra_serf: The server sent a truncated HTTP response body.'

[edwi...@innovationgear.com]

Hello,

I'm using the latest TortoiseSVN 1.13.1, Build 28686 - 64 Bit , 2019/10/31 18:49:38

I check out and constantly update quite a number of public repositories from github.

Due to occasional network instabilities issues (you know, network censoring in China), from time to time I encounter this error:

'ra_serf: The server sent a truncated HTTP response body.'

And it will cause local working folder in a constant 'skipped obstructing working copy' erroneous state when I Update again. 

This I can accept, as long as I can fix it by the Clean Up command (with all checkboxes ticked except the three one located at the bottom) and then execute Update again. And I remember this solution works several years ago, but it's not working now since several years ago.

So in this situation, is there any other workarounds for fixing the 'skipped obstructing working copy' error, other than the following not-working methods I've tried?

• The Clean Up command.
• Delete the subfolder pointed out the error message and then Update again.

Thanks.
