Someone committed a file to the subversion repository that must be removed. The server is a virtualized Windows Server 2003 32-bit box with 4GB RAM and plenty of disk space where the repositories reside. We're using SVN 1.4.4 (outdated, I know, not my fault, I was pulled away from my day job to fix this issue).
I dumped the repository using svnadmin dump and filtered using svndumpfilter. The dump file was around 90GB, and roughly the same size filtered (yes, the users are misusing Subversion). The load of the filtered dump failed with "Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service." This happened after roughly 99% of the filtered dump was loaded (r9945/9991). I tried again and it failed earlier (~r7.5k). There doesn't seem to be an issue with resources... using Process Explorer shows svnadmin consuming about 40% of the CPU and roughly 8MB in working set memory during the load. During the dump and filter CPU usage is lower and memory usage higher, but still entirely reasonable. I have searched for this error and encountered many instances, but they seem to deal with source code and buffer errors. I need some way to remove this file and restore the repository. Thanks in advance for your help! ~jt
