Re: subversion 1.1.0 checkin crashes - repo needs recovery

Hi, well i did a lot of further tests.

First of all: the problem is solveable by dumping and loading the
repository. So it isnt really an issue for me personally. Just wanted to
let you know about this.

when i make a checkout and modify any file, then the next checkin fails.
so the problem seems to be on the repository side.

i added the output of the permissions of the repo
at the bottom of this mail.

using sudo svn ci doesnt solve the problem. (dont know if it should if
there were permission problems)

i added some some answers below.
any further info you need ?

I use this repository only for a daily backup. it is always the same
user who accesses it.
