The way to get help about the svnadmin load command is to type
"svnadmin help load" (not "svnadmin load help"). You can also read
the book at http://svnbook.org
svnadmin is having trouble converting non-UTF-8 data in the dumpfile
it seems? Do you have the LANG environment variable set to something
that makes sense for your system? If not, please do. Though I didn't
think the dumpfile should ever contain non-UTF-8 data... If it helps
you locate the source of the problem, the butes 96 2d 66 6f, if they
are in the ISO-8859-1 charset, are "–-fo" -- that is, an en-dash, a
dash, the letter f, the letter o. Is that string present in one of
your filenames in the dump? Again it shouldn't be a problem; the
repository should be able to handle UTF-8 filenames. Just trying to
see where the message is coming from.
You're trying to load a complete repository dump into a new empty
local repository, yes? In that case, once svnadmin load fails, you
should delete the repository and recreate a new empty one before
attempting to load again. That should take care of the rest of the
errors you mentioned.
