New subversion repository format?
HI! I don't know if this is the correct list to post this to.
I was using subversion rev 2706 (from a debian package). I upgraded to
rev 3210 (latest debian package) and now my old repositories doesn't
work. I get this error:
$ svn ci
svn: Error del determinador de nombres desconocido
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL
svn: svn_ra_local__split_URL: Unable to find valid repository
(file:///var/lib/subversion/he/tronco/src/includes/hooks)
doing a svnlook /var/lib/subversion/he I get this:
svn: Unknown resolver error
svn: Expected version '1' of repository; found no version at all; is
`/var/lib/subversion/he' a valid repository path?
svn: No such file or directory
svn: svn_io_file_open: can't open `/var/lib/subversion/he/format'
Of course I don't have this 'format' file... I've created a new test
repository and the 'format' file with '1' in the contents is there and
works just fine. I don't know why I'm telling this to you since I'm sure
you know it better than me :)
I tried to make a backup and add the file 'format' but I get this error:
$ svn co file:///home/luca/temp/he_root he_prueba
A he_prueba/tronco
svn: Error del determinador de nombres desconocido
svn: reference to non-existent node `2.1.30' in filesystem
`/home/luca/temp/he_root/db'
So, finally, my question is... Is the format changed or am I dreaming (a
nightmare :( )??? And the most important: is there a way to "import" the
old repository in the new format???
Thanks...
(please Cc me :)

Seems like we probably should?
Especially if Debian (and others) are going to generate further reports like
this from people upgrading across FS schema changes.

p.s. not to mention that we could provide the correct URL ;-)

See the downloads area:
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=260
Specifically, build an svnadmin using this tarball:
http://subversion.tigris.org/files/documents/15/690/subversion-r2927.tar.gz
Then follow the instructions in the HOWTO listed above.
Cheers,

Arrrrhhh.... what happend if I don't have an old svnadmin??? Where can I
find it? (I mean, besides the svn repository :) I mean, is there some
"emergency" static version to make the recovery or the only way is to
download and compile an older revision?

In r3002, I believe. Or something close to that. It was announced
with the new interim release that came right after that.

Sorry, I misled cmpilato; we have no FAQ for this on our FAQ page.
You should look at the the repository_upgrade_HOWTO document in our
notes/ area, either in your working copy, or online:
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/notes/repository_upgrade_HOWTO
That document talks about older format changes, but the same idea
still applies. You need to dump your repository with an "old"
svnadmin, and then reload it with a "new" svnadmin.
This is also covered in the Handbook.

And all my efforts was useless, of course... :(
The worst thing is I've looked to the FAQs and didn't find it... I was
focused on the 'format' file... I'm sorry.

Part of me wants to reprimand you for even trying that ... but then, I
have to pause and remember that Unix is the Promised Land of
Hackability, so I can't really fault you.

Yes, the format has changed.
Yes, there is a way to "import" the old repository in the new format.
