I think I found a bug with svnadmin dump --deltas. It all started with
an svnsync replication which got "svnsync: E210008: Error while
replaying commit". I tried doing an svnrdump dump of the failing
revision from the remote repository, and tried to load that and got this
error.
svnadmin: E200014: Base checksum mismatch on
'/blah/blah/blah/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF':
expected: 91130ebbf7425816cc82ad08be4bb128
actual: 80d4dede1743346affe4fe5e52cd280e
But then I tried doing an svnadmin dump via ssh, and that loaded
cleanly. Looking at the dump file from each, I noticed that the
svnrdump had deltas and that the expected checksum, shown above, matched
the 'Text-delta-base-md5' line in the dump file not the
'Text-content-md5' line. So then I tried doing an svnadmin dump
--deltas, and it produced the exact same dump output as svnrdump. This
makes me think that something about the --deltas output, or the
interpretation of it at load time, is incorrect. I'm not sure how to
track it down to a reproducible case, any suggestions would be welcome.
My servers are both Linux OEL (Oracle's RHEL variant), both with
Subversion 1.8.15.
