RE: svnlook issue

Ryan,

First of all, let me offer my sincerest gratitude. Your latest email made
very clear the "error of my ways". I thought the /format folder lived in
the source folder with the /trunk, /branches, /tag folders. You now cleared
it up for me that the /format folder lives under the repository on the SVN
server. This also brings into focus other postings I found while surfing
Google for the /format issue I was experiencing. As directed by the other
postings, I set the permissions on the /format folder (for all my
repositories) to RW for all mod levels and it corrected the problem.

Again, much thanks for the immediacy of your response and clearing up the
issue for me.

I do perform syncing across servers and am now getting the following:

"svnsync: warning: W200007: Target server does not support atomic revision
property edits; consider upgrading it to 1.7 or using an external locking
program"

I will work this, it is apparent that the versioning does not agree now
between my updated local master-sync SVN server and the original remote
slave-sync SVN server.

Thanks again for all your help.

The "format" file is inside every repository you create. It tells Subversion
what kind of repository it is.

$ svnadmin create somerepository
$ ls -1 somerepository
README.txt
conf
db
format
hooks
locks

Do your repositories not look the same?
