Re: Fwd: Re: svn server crashes, corrupt repository

Hi

Ahh, Following the other thread on this mailing list regarding repository
corruption ("Repository keeps corrupting") it just hit me..

After I upgraded to 0.28.2, I forgott to set the sticky-group bit on my svn
directoryes. Might permission issues be the source of my problem ?

Best regards,
Vidar
