If you got an error like this when using SVN today, it’s not just you:
Committing transaction...: Error: Commit failed (details follow): Error: Error running context: The server unexpectedly closed the connection. Completed!:
Or
Committing transaction...: Error: Commit failed (details follow): Error: Failed to start '/home/svn/repos/wp-plugins/hooks/pre-commit' hook
There was a high server load on WordPress.org on Monday May 8th, which caused the system to have those errors. When it happens to you, just go make a coffee or bake a pie and come back in a bit.
