( This message is a repeat. ) It's now been about 3 weeks since
the last replication / backup.
The repo is large enough that doing a hot-backup on the production
server causes delays in day-to-day business.
( This is one of the problems that I'm trying to solve. )
But-- along the way to figuring out how to filter out specific
paths, I discovered that the repo wasn't replicating.
I need to get this operational again so that I can get backups
flowing again. ... even if it means sacrificing specific revisions.
Here are the specifics:
I had a replication repo start failing a few weeks ago with the
message:
syncing: "svnsync: Delta source ended unexpectedly"
Ultimately, I ended up unintentionally removing the files for the
replication repo.
So now I'm creating a new one.
The source repo is located on a server running svn, version 1.4.5
(r25188)
.. which is being replicated to a new repo on a server running
svn, version 1.5.6 (r36142)
( I started replicating at revision 0. )
I'm now getting:
svnsync: Path 'QA/Releases/Q2 2.6.3/Q2 Adaptors
2.6.3.1617/ProgramBins/Sample/QuorumChangeOfAddress' not present
How is this possible, if nothing is being filtered from the repo,
and nothing can ever be deleted from an SVN repo?
More to the point, how can this be fixed?
How exactly would hotcopy cause delays that would be prohibitive for
your day-to-day operation? Isn't the whole point of it to not do this?
Have you run 'svnadmin verify' to make sure your source repository is
healthy and not corrupted somehow/somewhere?
In my experience, seeding a mirror of a LARGE master repository using
svnsync is not the fastest way to get there at all. I would go the
hotcopy route and setup svnsync after the fact to start to bring over
deltas. Should be much, much faster that way.

I can't tell you how exactly. I can tell you that I was having users
complain about error messages before I moved the backup process to a
replicated repo.
No, I haven't run svnadmin verify. I'll give that a shot today.
It might help me figure out how to fix whatever is causing it not to
replicate properly.
Have you ever needed to split a repo? I'm going to need to do that once
I can get a backup. It seems that you've worked with large repos, so
maybe you've needed to do this.
