I just got this traceback trying to do a rather large checkin:

Transmitting file data ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................svn: Commit failed (details follow):

libsvn._core.SubversionException: ("Can't open file '/data/repos/projects/db/transactions/56255- 1.txn/props': Too many open files", 24)

I'm not complaining about the whitespace-normalization issues, but rather the open files issue ;-P It sounds like a buglet somewhere, although it may be in libsvn.
