RE: HELP: Upgraded to v 1.4.5 and now have a "Found malformed header in revision file" error

Firstly apologies for the formatting of this email and the top posting - I
have to use Lotus Notes which really doesn't lend itself to Internet
email.

Thanks for the suggestion ... I've copied the whole repository over to a
host running the old 1.3.2 environment to attempt the dump there - the
dump fails on revision with the "Found malformed header ..." message.

Regards,

David.

revision file" error
Something you might try: install the older version again, svndump the
repository, install the new version, rename your existing repository,
svnload from the dump to recreate the repository.
The dump->load procedure may cure whatever was wrong.
