 I've been experiencing http 502 bad gateway errors on the MapGuide/FDO svn
 repos.

 Some examples:

 1. Using the [https://tortoisesvn.net/ TortoiseSVN] windows client, trying
 to bring up the log of any directory of a svn checkout within brings up
 the bad gateway error (see attached image)

 2. I've been experimenting with some git mirroring/migration scripts and
 the MapGuide repo fails with bad gateway when I try to run
 [https://github.com/nirvdrum/svn2git svn2git]

 Example `svn2git` command:

 {{{
 svn2git https://svn.osgeo.org/mapguide --authors ~/svn_authors.txt
 --metadata --no-minimize-url
 }}}

 It fails trying to pull out commit r1 with

 {{{
 RA layer request failed: Unexpected HTTP status 502 'Bad Gateway' on
 '/mapguide/!svn/rvr/29/trunk/MgDev/UnitTest/TestData/FeatureService/FeatureServiceTest.dump'
 at /usr/share/perl5/Git/SVN/Ra.pm line 312
 }}}

 For 1. I can somewhat workaround this by using the SVN command-line
 client, where the bad gateway errors aren't happening, though I much
 prefer to do merges through the TortoiseSVN GUI, so this problem hampers
 by productivity somewhat.

 For 2. this is a more pressing problem as I would one day like to see
 MapGuide/FDO formally be migrated to git, but if I can't pull out the full
 history of these repos because of bad gateway errors, that idea of git
 mirroring/migration with full history is dead in the water.

 I theorize this started happening when `http://svn.osgeo.org` was taken
 down and everything redirected to `https://svn.osgeo.org`. My git
 mirroring scripts worked then and I don't recall encountering bad gateway
 errors with TortoiseSVN.
