Ref T12613. Currently, the SVNTEST and HGTEST repositories are improperly configured on secure. These repositories use VCS systems which do not support synchronization, so they can not be served from cluster services with multiple hosts.
However, I've incorrectly configured them the same way as all the Git repositories, which support synchronization. This causes about 50% of requests to randomly fail (when they reach the wrong host).
Detect this issue and warn the user that the configuration is not valid.
It should be exceptionally difficult for normal installs to run into this.
