Hello, I had to deal with a server crash the last days and had to restore our repositories from some days old backups it seemed that we partly backed up somehow corrupted data. I used svnadmin verify to check the repositories during my repairs and found, that different versions of svnadmin behave differently in verification. Our production server runs Subversion 1.4.x, on my notebook I used version 1.6.x. I found one repository where svnadmin verify with version 1.6.x didn't find any errors, but a svnadmin dump did. Regarding the docs verify is just dump with no output, therefore I would have expected the same results. Another interesting thing is that Subversion 1.4.x on our server found the problems svnadmin dump did on 1.6.x even with svnadmin verify, like I would have expected to be the case with 1.6.x either.
Does anyone have an idea how this can happen? I wrote a tool to verify our repositories on a scheduled time and it can verify using verify and dump, therefore I would like to know which one to use. When we upgrade to Subversion 1.6.x on the server, should I switch from using verify to dump? Should both produce the same errors? Are there any errors both wouldn't be able to detect? Thanks in advance!
