Re: svn 1.3 crashing after sometime

  Hello,

For an upgrade from 1.3 to 1.6, I have simply apply "svnadmin upgrade" command
and check integrity with "svnadmin verify".

Then, the repository is still in "linear" mode - which is not an issue, it works.
But for performance reason, it is better to move to "sharded" mode.

To do so, I have worked on fsfs-reshard.py script. You will find it with
documentation how to use it safely here:

Kind regards
