Using TortoiseSVN adding 3Gb of file to Subversion and got error 413 Request Entity too large

Does anyone have a solution for the following error? We can not add a large file to Subversion. We are using Apache 2.2.16 and svnclient-win32-1.6.6 for Windows. Any information is greatly appreciated.

First, you really shouldn't store 3 GB files in SVN. Seriously. Small binary files are OK, but otherwise, SVN and their source control cousins are really for source code, not 3 GB files.

The Entity Too Large error is being raised by Apache. Apache 2.2 does support files uploaded larger than 2gb, but perhaps Subversion does not, or perhaps you are running Apache on a Windows machine. In any case, your question is more suited to ServerFault.
