[jira] [Commented] (SVN-4650) svnadmin load of format 4 repositories - no way to normalize line endings if CR snuck in an svn:* prop in an earlier release.

Steffen Mazur commented on SVN-4650:
------------------------------------

Hi,

is there any possibility to fix this problem? I found out that an other issue is related to this. See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4263

This issue was marked with a priority "major" but this here is marked as "minor". But I think these are the same problems. 
Could it be that the code fix of SVN-4263 only was made in the tool *svnrdump*? In my opinion the same code fix should be commited in the *svnadmin load* tool.

I have the same problem, that i can't import a dump file (64GB) because of the following error. (I used the command "svnadmin load")

svnadmin: E125005: Invalid property value found in dumpstream; consider repairing the source or using --bypass-prop-validation while loading.
svnadmin: E125005: Cannot accept non-LF line endings in 'svn:log' property

Thank you and best regards

Steffen

> If a repository has svn:* properties (rev-props or normal props) with a CR in them, then it is possible to do an svnadmin dump, followed by a load, but only with a --bypass-prop-validation. However, that just punts the problem down the road to a future release. It is possible to fix all the revprops with existing tools, but regular svn:* props cannot be fixed by available tools. Only manually editing the dump file will fix the svnadmin load problem in this case.
> At least with 1.8 and later (that I've tested), svnsync will normalize line endings. So svnadmin load, and svnsync are inconsistent on this topic.
> As near as I can tell, Subversion removes the CRs on output for clients, and the no-longer acceptable CR is only visible to svnlook and svnadmin commands. In addition, it looks like it removes them on input in current releases. I think this means that Subversion clients will not be able to detect the CRs in a property. I believe this means that removing the CRs should just work in all cases.
