Thanks for your reply. I am aware that the recommended procedure is
dump/load, although if the manual explicitly warns against using hotcopy for
this then I have misread it.
Given the minor problem about revision property changes we had to fix, and
bearing in mind that we now have one week's commits in the new repository,
along with revprop changes, I would like to know if anyone can suggest any
potential problems to look out for or any action to take.
Thanks.
