migrating BACKWARDS: 1.3.0 to 1.1.4?

[shane doucette <do...@cs.usask.ca>]

Hello!

I'm new to the list, so I apologize if this or a similar issue has  
been dealt with.  I didn't see it in my searches of the archives.

I have a user who set up a Subversion server on their own machine,  
off of our network, running 1.3.0.  He now wants to bring it onto our  
existing Subversion server, which is running 1.1.4.

Is this possible, or are there too many differences in the versions  
to make it feasible?  If it is possible, are there any issues for me  
to watch out for?

Thanks for your assistance!

Hello all!

It looks as if the dumpfile formats are unchanged between 1.1.4 and  
1.3.0.  Both begin with the following preamble:

	SVN-fs-dump-format-version: 2

and I had no issues 'downgrading'.

And I do intend to upgrade.  It's on the list for the summer.  :-)

Thanks for your assistance.

If it works, the way to do so would be to dump the 1.3.0 repository  
to a text file and load that into a new repository created by   
Subversion 1.1.4. If it doesn't work, I would expect Subversion 1.1.4  
to complain that the dump format is too new. If it loads fine, I  
would expect it to work fine.

I would, of course, encourage you to upgrade to Subversion 1.3.0,  
just out of principle.
