Maybe his ISP puts a transparent proxy in the way for all traffic on port
80 and that proxy doesn't work quite well in cooperation with SVN? That
would clarify HTTPS working OK, because no transparent proxies are
possible for HTTPS... If this guess is correct (and depending on the
configuration of his ISP - whether the proxy is only triggered for port 80
or whether all communication is intercepted and analyzed for HTTP
protocol), it might be enough to let SVN listen on another port (in
addition to the default port 80) to avoid performance overhead required
for https (if this overhead is not wanted/acceptable).
