RE: Error during svnadmin load (svnadmin: E125005: Cannot accept non-LF line endings in 'svn:log' property)

Hello Stefan, Konstantin

I solved the problem by running a loop around svn pget, svn pset.

The svn pget returns clean log entries, so extraction the svn:log entries, and resetting them cleans them up.

  #!/bin/ksh
  rev=1
  repo=PATH_TO_REPO
  URL=URL_TO_REPO
  while [ $rev -lt `svnlook youngest $repo` ]
  do
   echo revision $rev
   svn pget svn:log --revprop -r $rev $URL >/tmp/svn$$.log
   svn pset svn:log --revprop -r $rev --file /tmp/svn$$.log $URL
   let rev=rev+1
  done

Thanks for your help,

Robert Denault

It's possible that subclipse clients didn't properly encode log message
data sent to the server.

BTW, another trick to fix the issue is to copy the repository using
svnsync. As of Subversion 1.6.3 (which is fairly old), svnsync normalizes
all svn:* properties to LF line-endings automatically.
