svnlook doesn't work with fsfs repository

I've recenty upgraded to 1.1.0 and decided to switch to the fsfs repository 
as well.

Now when I try to use svnlook it says it can't find the "format" file.

Example:
svnlook youngest ./
svn: Can't open file 'format': The system cannot find the file specified.

Example:
svnlook youngest Trunk
svn: Can't open file 'Trunk/format': The system cannot find the file 
specified.

Any ideas?

thanks,

Reggie

I would suggest that your current directory wasn't your subversion 
repository. svnlook works fine with the fsfs repository type.

Change to the base of your subversion repository and re-run the command.

svnlook doesn't accept a repository URL as an argument, it just wants a 
path the the base of your repository.

So if you created your repository in /usr/local/svnrepo then "svnlook 
youngest /usr/local/svnrepo" would work.

See <http://svnbook.red-bean.com/svnbook-1.1/ch09s03.html> for more 
information.
