Hi,
I used rsvndump to dump a remote repository (because the server is running
an old version of SVN from before support for 'replay' was added). Now I am
trying to load the dump file into my local repository (VisualSVN 2.1.9) and
I'm getting the following error:
* adding path : trunk/SomePath/SomeFile.zip ...svnadmin: File already
exists: filesystem 'E:\Repositories\Archive\db', transaction '3186-2gi',
path 'trunk/SomePath/SomeFile.zip'
Interestingly, it looks like it fails at revision 3186, but a glance at the
output shows:
------- Committed revision 3186 >>>
<<< Started new transaction, based on original revision 3187
So why is the transaction for 3186 still there?
This is my second attempt at doing this, and I got the same error (in the
same place) the first time. The dump file is almost 5GB in size and the
dump takes about 3 days to complete, so I'm not keen on doing it again, and
I doubt it will help anyway.
Of course, I started with an empty repository on the local server, so it's
not like it already had data in it. So how can I get around this?
