I didn't want to say I executed two dump & load into same repo. I executed the load into two different new repos, both in 1.9 format. (one from1.8 format repo, another from original 1.9 format repo, so I had 4 repos in total). As those new repos are byte-by-byte identical, I wonder if I managed to dump one repo twice. Well, good news is that when de-duplication works correctly the 1.9 repo is smaller than 1.8 And this is totally separated from the first sync and failing de-duplication. > However, you might have tried to do > "something" to the repo while to got written by the sync process. > That might have blocked access to the rep-cache.db, ending > all deduplication.

I did not find the crash report, so I have no idea what could have caused it, or if the process that crashed was related to svn. Gert
