RE: moved repository

Actually, since the incumbent platform was already doing nightly backups using "svnadmin dump", we created fresh repositories on the new machine and incorporated the data using "svnadmin load". Admittedly there may have been a problem there--on several of the larger repositories, it was necessary to use the "--bypass-prop-validation" argument. However, on our first "trial run" with this several months ago, the result seemed to work fine.

How did you "move the repository"? Did you use svnsync, are you using HTTPS access, did you migrate webserver configuration files? If you use Apache and just copied the files over, did you set the file ownership so the 'apache' user has write access to the database files?

Details, man, details!!!
