losing revisions when migrating from etch to sarge
Hi all,
I am running subversion on Debian Etch and I need to migrate it to a
Debian Sarge server. The subversion package is at 1.3.2-5+b1 and
subversion-tools is at 1.3.2-5.
From the svn manual, I think I should do a svnadmin dump on the Etch
server and a load on the Sarge server.
When I do the dump, I see revisions dumped up to 4834. However, the
latest revision is 5557 (according to my repository browser). The same
happens when I do a hotcopy. I can still commit to the repository, so it
is working without any problems (well, except for that I can't migrate).
How can I migrate the repository to the other server without losing the
revisions?
Best regards,
Zoran

I feel really stupid. I was working on /var/svn instead of /var/lib/svn
... Dumped upto revision 5557, now loading on the new server.
Thanks for the pointer. Sorry for the noise.
Best, Zoran.

Are you sure you're not dumping from an old backup? If you're able to
update or checkout from revision r5557, then a dump should work too:
internally a dump is nothing more than a checkout of each revision
until HEAD...
HTH,
Erik.
