Hi All,
I have been reading this thread with great interest.
I have 2 questions.
A) "svnadmin dump --incremental" or "svnsync" should be used as the
preferred method for backing up ?
B) If the main repository is corrupted, then wouldn't the above strategy
copy the corruption over to the backup ? I am assuming that is *not* the
case and would appreciate if someone can fill the gap in my knowledge.
Thanks
Lakshman

Um, no. The commit is over before the post-commit has completed (that's
why it is called post-commit). Just because it doesn't return control
to the client until after the post-commit fires, doesn't mean someone
else can't commit. In fact, it has long be recommended that
long-running post-commit steps be forked into the background, which
makes the situation even more muddy...
