We have a web page <http://subversion.tigris.org/inconveniences.html>
which is linked (only) from getting_subversion.html (which is about building
Subversion from source and contributing to the project).
For reference, this is what it says (in total):
> Subversion Inconveniences
>
> These are some of the problems most likely to annoy new users:
>
> 1. Repository deadlocks
>
> If an svn client is directly accessing a repository via a file:/// url
> and is interrupted, or crashes, (or if httpd crashes), the repository
> is likely to be left in a 'wedged' state. You'll need to run 'svnadmin
> recover /path/to/repos' to unwedge the repository. Make sure you shut
> down httpd before doing this.
>
> See Issue #739 and http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#wedged-repos
> for more details.
>
> 2. Charset conversion failure mode too extreme
>
> If Subversion cannot convert log data to your local charset encoding,
> it will (currently) just show "[unconvertible data]" for the entire
> unconverted log message. This is lossier than necessary. There are even
> some revisions in the Subversion repository itself that exhibit this
> behavior when the client locale is ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1).
>
> See Issue #807 for more details.
Point (2) is pretty much resolved, now, I believe (without proof), though issue
#807 is not closed.
Point (1) is well covered in the FAQ.
I think we have not kept this page up to date, nor even thought about it, and I
think the FAQ is where we have put any issues that we might otherwise have put
here. Therefore this page is obsolete.
OK to delete it? If so, I'll change the reference to it:
> See the [Warnings and Inconveniences Page] for the most annoying bugs and
> their workarounds; see the [Issue Tracker] for a complete list of known
> bugs, and instructions on filing new bugs.
to (changing the first line):
> See the [FAQ] for known issues and
> their workarounds; see the [Issue Tracker] for a complete list of known
> bugs, and instructions on filing new bugs.
