Trouble with the IMPORT command

Hello,

I am using

SERVER:

      SVNSERVE V1.1.3 is running on

      Windows Server 2003 using the FSFS option.

CLIENT:

      TortoiseSVN Version 1.1.3.2502 running on

      Windows XP TabletPC Edition SP1

On the client machine I have set up an

'image' of what I would like my repository to look like.

It contains approximately 6000 files in 500 folders.

When I run the import function it shows that it is

adding many of the files but then stops and shows an

error message.

Steps:

1. I added the folder I wish to import to into the repository.

2. I select the folder on the client machine

3. I right click and select the Tortoise SVN> menu option

4. I select the Import... option

5. I select the URL of the Repository (matches the folder I wish to import)

6. The Action Adding ... file list message box is displayed

7. Then the process stops and one of the following error messages are
displayed:

Either:

      Checksum mismatch for resulting fulltext

      (PATH.../image187.png); [different file each time I run]

      expected checksum: 48d2aecd44b699421d63048fd47cd550

      actual checksum: 8d4bc6fa4d9f18db1e0427762d921f92

Or:

      Invalid diff stream: [new] insn 4178 overflows the new data section

Or:

      Invalid diff stream: [new] insn 1783 overflows the target view

8. I click OK and OK and done.

I tried it a few times - checksum error occurred on different files.

Overflow errors are less frequent.

I was able to import a different project with about 1800 files in 200
folders

- but it took numerous attempts.

I received the same type of errors but it finally got through all the files

and the import was successful.

I posted this issue first with the TortoiseSVN project and

the persons there suggested I try to run the svn client and see the results.

So I tried the svn client running on the server itself.

I encountered the same problem when I used the 'svn://'

syntax to identify the repository.

The import worked when I used the 'file:///' syntax.

I was just trying to check out the project and I received the same error as
well.

I hope I have provided enough information.

Please contact me with any suggestions, work-arounds, questions or comments.

Thanks in advance for reviewing this.

Regards

Kevin
