Re: svn: Reference to non-existent node '0.0.8' in
filesystem '/foo/db'
Let me guess: is this repository using db 4.1?

I thought that between 4.1 and 4.0, 4.1 was the only one that worked on OSX.
If it's the case that DB 4.1 doesn't work on OSX either, should we throw up
the warning flags about 4.1 in general? Perhaps in the FAQ? The reason I
ask is because we've seen more and more cases of this popping up. I must
have responded to 4 or 5 in the last week or so.

a late followup to my mac osx woes - i snorked berkeley db-4.2.52,
subversion 0.37, rebuilt with both, and life is good (so far) on os x.
thanks!

Using db4.0 or 4.2. 4.2 is fastest, and automatically cleans up its own
unused log files.

Toss the repos. DB 4.1 on OSX is known to cause data loss. :-( We've
seen it several times on this list.

that sounds like more than a guess. :( yes, it's db 4.1, mac os x,
and as the stuff below indicates, using svnserve over ssh.
must we amputate, or can the limb be saved, doctor? (and if so,
how?)
thanks!
