Hi,
I wanted to convert my existing repos to the new "fsfs" format available
with subversion 1.1. So I just dumped the repo to a file, created a new
repo using the other database backend and tried to load the dump file into
the new repo. I got some mysterious error message.
$> export LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
$> svnadmin create /home/svnadmin/svn1.1_test/buggy --fs-type fsfs
$> svnadmin load /home/svnadmin/svn1.1_test/buggy < /home/svnadmin/dumps/rev_317.dump
<<< Started new transaction, based on original revision 1
* adding path : work ... done.
svn: Valid UTF-8 data
(hex: 40)
followed by invalid UTF-8 sequence
(hex: a4 05 08 38)
Doing a Google-search I found out there was once a similar problem which
was related to "libapr0" or so. Another person reported that such an error
could be resolved by setting a different "LANG" value. The only thing that
changed were the error messages:
$> export LANG=C
$> svnadmin create /home/svnadmin/svn1.1_test/buggy --fs-type fsfs
$> svnadmin load /home/svnadmin/svn1.1_test/buggy < /home/svnadmin/dumps/rev_317.dump
<<< Started new transaction, based on original revision 1
* adding path : work ... done.
svn: Can't recode string
$> export LANG=en_US
$> svnadmin create /home/svnadmin/svn1.1_test/buggy --fs-type fsfs
$> svnadmin load /home/svnadmin/svn1.1_test/buggy < /home/svnadmin/dumps/rev_317.dump
<<< Started new transaction, based on original revision 1
* adding path : work ... done.
svn: Can't open directory '/home/svnadmin/svn1.1_test/buggy/db/transactions/0-1.txn/%G�%@
X`p
': No such file or directory
I'm using subversion 1.1.2 (R12471) compiled on Jan 7 2005. It
is interesting that there was no error if I switched to BDB as
backend. I just use svn via "file:" and "svn+ssh".
Are there any explanations what went wrong? Please feel free to
request further details if necessary.
Thanks.
Benjamin
