RE: moved repository

Thanks, Nico....that indeed turn out to be one of our problems.

The other was that the repository used a custom pre-commit hook script that was originally written for the Korn shell, which wasn't installed on the new server.

Thanks again for the help!

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.

Then you didn't get the same file permissions and didn't import any modified pre-commit, post-commit, or other such scripts. I suspect the file permissions, especially if you did the "svnadmin load" as a root user and didn't set "apache" write permissions for the repository itself. Do some "ls --al" checks of the permissions on your old repo, and review the Apache configurations or svnserve or svn+ssh settings, however you provide access.
