Hello, I got a strange error in one of our subversion repositories: On checking out a file from revision 3865 on, svn reports "Svndiff contains a too-large window".
The same error is reported by "svnadmin verify" and "svnadmin dump". Server OS is RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.4 (64 bit) Subversion server is 1.6.5 built from a slightly modified the Fedora Core 12 Source RPM using the sqlite amalgamation SVN client used was TortoiseSVN 1.6.6 (probably on XP, not sure) Repository type is FSFS Repository layout is sharded The repository as a hole has a size of around 5GB db/revs/7/3865 is 210MB in size, a backup of the file from the night after the commit contains a file with no differences. The revision in question contains two added binary files of around 102MB in size. The file which cannot be checked out is one of these files. All other files added or updated in this revision can be checked out. In the current state, the repository cannot be dumped - when reaching the corrupted revision, svnadmin aborts with "Svndiff contains a too-large window". Is there some way to recover the checked-in file? Can the file in question be removed from this revision? Or can the complete revision be replaced somehow?
