TortoiseSVN 1.4.1, Build 7992: Repository creation problems: Error * Expected format '3' of repository; found format '5'

Hi,

 

There is a problem creating File System repositories and then accessing
using Repo Browser over the SVN protocol locally or remotely.

 

The version I have is: TortoiseSVN 1.4.1, Build 7992 - 32 Bit ,
2006/11/11 09:34:39

The method I would normally use is:

1) Create and enter directory for repository

2) Right click and select create repository here

3) Amend the conf files accordingly.

 

However, under version 1.4.1 I follow this process, the repository
creates however viewing using the repo browser (either locally or
remotely) yields the following message:

Error * Expected format '3' of repository; found format '5'

 

The work around to this is to use a command window enter the directory
in which you wish to create the repository and use the svnadmin tool.
E.g

 

Svnadmin create c:\data\SVNReps\ProductRep

 

This creates the File system repository correctly and can be browsed
locally or remotely using the repo browser.

HTH.

Richard.
