Yes, I am sure that the application, svn (Subversion) in this case, is
making three identical requests. The requests were captured using
Wireshark so I was able to see all the bits sent and received. There
are one or two different requests made between each of the identical ones.
Without examining the source code, I cannot say why svn makes the same
three requests instead of making it once and caching the data.
