Hi, SVN decides if two repositories are "the same" by comparing their UUIDs. You can get the Repository UUID from the old repository with "svn info", and set it on the new repository with "svnadmin setuuid". Kind regards, Jon

Currently I've setup svnsync and I am doing test run of synchronizing repositories. I will have a small window to migrate repositories. Using the svnsync gives me possibility to do major job before the change window and then final sync during the change. In this step I have some doubts whether users will have possibility to relocate their local copies to new repository on new server. The first step of sync procedure is to create fresh repository, I am afraid that it will have different ID and svn will say "its not the same repository" I will test it but you are welcome to give me your comments. I have about 400 repositories to migrate. Svnsync showed about 60 -70 hours to sync all repos.

It depends on the Subversion repository backend. If the BerkeleyDB backend is used, a dump/load cycle is probably necessery, so just do it to be on the safe side. With repositories using FSFS, there is nothing to worry about. The file "db/fs-type" in a repository tells you which kind of backend the repository is using: "bdb" or "fsfs" Stefan ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
