undo svnadmin pack

["Ignacio González (Eliop)" <ig...@googlemail.com>]

Hello.

Is there a simple way to undo the effects of an "svnadmin pack" command?
If not, is there a complex way?
If needed, I can retrieve the individual files that compose the packed file
(there is only one), but I don't know what other files I would have to
modify (assuming they could be edited somehow)

svn 1.8.13, Linux

Thanks.

  Hello,

My version of fsfs-reshard script is able to unpack revisions and
revision properties of a FSFS repository format 4 (Subversion 1.6)
Probably there is not a lot of job to do to get it work with Subversion
1.8 format 6. I have already planned to work on it this month.

I can only speculate about what issue might require undoing svnadmin pack, but I feel prompted to note the following: Be careful here. Alone due to the effects of representation sharing, and certainly others, there is no guarantee that single revision files are portable between different incarnations of the same revision history. The only portable format/protocols are the dump serialization and the client protocol.

Best I can think of is to dump the repo, create a new one to load it into,
turn off packing on the target repo, and then do the load.
