We recently moved a very large SVN repository from one Linux server to
another (RHEL 5 to CentOS 5.3). I was told to just copy over the
repository and the appropriate conf files. (Unfortunately there isn't
enough disk space on the old machine to export this multi-GB
repository.) While the Kerberos authentication we do seems to work, we
get a "no such revision" when trying to browse the repository. (This is
from a local test repository on my local PC.) We are using variously
TortoiseSVN and VisualSVN (the .NET developers using Visual Studio).
1. Is this a problem which can be fixed?
2. Or, do we actually have to export the repository on the old
machine (probably to an NFS share we'll have to have our IS department
create) and then create the repository new on the new machine and import
the repository? (In other words, can the repository and conf files be
copied over as suggested and perhaps in the copy process did something
screw-up? We did have a couple of cases where revs didn't want to copy;
but after multiple re-trys they did. The revs in question happened to be
1+ GB each.)
Many thanks for your help with this!
