svnsync: Assertion failed: (svn_fspath__is_canonical(child_fspath)), ...

[olli hauer <oh...@gmx.de>]

I'm running into a bug in svnsync that was fixed some years ago for svn
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4088


The FreeBSD project is now running for users subversion mirror without svn:// access.
The main issue I'm running into is a bug because the repos are located on /$repo and not on a sub path like /svn/$repo


Running my existing svnsync repo against the new URL results in a core dump of svnsync

Assertion failed: (svn_fspath__is_canonical(child_fspath)), function svn_fspath__skip_ancestor, file subversion/libsvn_subr/dirent_uri.c, line 2492.
Abort trap (core dumped)


Until now I have to clean after each svnsync the svnsync lock with
$ svn pd svn:sync-lock --revprop -r 0 file:///$repo

Details if from interest:

svn properties (r0):
svn:date                 : 2012-07-14T06:36:59.701452Z

Should I re- open bug #4088 ?
