FS Format Version Mismatch

Hi,

 

I have just rebuilt my SVN server after a disk crash. I've used the latest
version (ver1.4.6) of SVN. I restored my repository from a tar backup file
of my original repository.

 

However, when I do "svnadmin verify myrepository", I get the following
error:-

 

Svnadmin: Expected FS format '2'; found format '3'

 

I've checked the 'myrepository/format' file, this is '5', and the
'myrepository/db/format' file, this is '3'.

 

I realise that there is a version inconsistency between my current svn
version and the previous svn version. Unfortunately, the disk crash was
fatal, I can't determine what the previous version was.

 

Is there a way to determine what version of SVN is compatible with my
repository?

 

Is there a way to migrate from one db version to another?

 

Regards
