Hello, I had initially got a lot of great feedback from the group.
I had decided to migrate the repo using the svnsync and the new server is 1.7 rc3 for the POC migration. (old server 1.4.6). Initially every thing was smooth now we are noticing that some repositories we get a failure in sync and that fails with following error svnsync: E000022: Commit created rev 3912 but should have created 3913 and what i notice is that the 3912 on the source is actually missed and the 3913 comes in as 3912 ..on the target repo .. the other thing is that this rev is saved as root .. (since i am running as sudo, the post rev prop has not got a chance to change it to the actual owner ) .. any help or pointers? I did search the error and tried to use the suggestion made some places with use of http://code.google.com/p/svnbook/source/browse/trunk/en/book/ch05-repository-admin.xml svnsync: E000022: Destination repository already contains revision history; co nsider using --allow-non-empty if the repository's revisions are known to mirr or their respective revisions in the source repository $ svnsync initialize --allow-non-empty file:///path/to/mirror-repos \ file:///path/to/repos Copied properties for revision 32042. $ but that does not seem to help either. any help will be much appreciated ... the other way is the long and laborious dump and load from old to new server... but that too is not without its share of frustration .in terms of dump then tar and then load.
