If so, which version would you advise that I use?
I don't know offhand what SVN_REPOS__FORMAT_NUMBER was in 2003 — that's several years before I joined the project — but first things first, I'd like to confirm that you aren't running into https://subversion.apache.org/issue3744. Did you run «svnadmin upgrade /path/to/repo/db» or «svnadmin upgrade /path/to/repo»? The latter would be correct. Cheers, Daniel
