E210008 is SVN_ERR_RA_SVN_EDIT_ABORTED. Not sure how best to debug that, the cleartext across the tunnel would be interesting but using some sort on non-encrypting tunnel might make the problem go away. It's possible that svnserve logging will show something of use. I don't know of any simple way to enable logging over svn+ssh but you can force it as follows: - create a script on the server containing: #!/bin/sh /path/to/svnserve --log-file /path/to/log-file -t - cause svnrdump to invoke the script instead of svnserve: svnrdump dump --incremental -r511 \ svn+ssh://server/some/svn/repos \ --config-option config:tunnels:foo='ssh -q scmadm@somehost /path/to/script' (The hostname in the URL is a placeholder, the tunnel defines which server to use.) -- Philip Martin | Subversion Committer WANdisco // *Non-Stop Data*
