Problem checking out code from a subversion repository
Hi.
I'm trying to provide Subversion access to a copy of my repository
for PythonCAD. The repository is on a remote machine, so I don't
have physical access to the machine. The host of the PythonCAD site
(http://www.pythoncad.org) has set up Apache and Subversion, and
things work for doing 'svn ls' ...
$ svn ls http://subversion.pythoncad.org:9000/svn/pythoncad/trunk
COPYING
Generic/
INSTALL
Interface/
MANIFEST.in
NEWS
README
Tests/
gtkpycad.py
setup.py
www/
Everything looks good, but then trying to do checkout the trunk gives
this ...
$ svn co http://subversion.pythoncad.org:9000/svn/pythoncad/trunk pythoncad
A pythoncad/MANIFEST.in
svn: Filesystem has no such representation
svn: could not checkout a file
svn:
svn_fs__bdb_read_rep: no such representation `16g'
$
A search about the representations turned up e-mails regarding commits,
so I'm puzzled. Anyone have suggestions for things to look for? The
remote site is running subversion 0.17.1, and I'm running 0.18 (plus a
few revisions) locally. The local repo is rsync'ed over to the remote
site periodically.
Thanks in advance.

Well, the local repository on my machine is only used by me (it is my
computer at home, and no-one else uses it), and when I run the rsync to
the remote machine, I'm not doing anything with the repository other
than sending the files out. I'll look at the hot-backup.py script, though.

Oh no, rsync?
You know that it's *bad* to just copy a live, running berkeley
database? You need to use the 'hot-backup.py' script to do it
safely. It looks like your repository has some messed up data
structures in it now.
