Can't open file db\txn-current file not found

[Dominique Jean-Prost <dj...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I know this problem has been discussed many times before, but I didn't
find a solution to it.

I'm trying to upgrade serveur binaries from 1.4 to 1.5, in order to
migrate repository to 1.5.
What I did :

1. made a hotcopy of my current 1.4 repo.
2. Copied this directory to a new place.
3. Started the svnserve (windows service) using the 1.5 binaries using
this new repository.
4. I managed to add a new file to the repo
5. When I try to commit a modified file, I get : Can't open file
'c:\svn_test\db\txn-current' file not found. And it's true this file
is not there.

I access my repository using the svn://myservername ...

Can someone help me ?

Best regards,
dom

No, you do not have to migrate your clients.  1.4 clients can work with
1.5 repositories.

Note, though, that if you have any server-side tools, such as Python
bindings, those would have be updated to their 1.5 versions.

Well,

I don't want to enable 1.5 features right now, because I understood I
would have to migrate clients too, and I don't want to do it now. Am I
right ?

I suspect that you failed this step, i.e. what you got was not a valid
copy of your repository:
> 1. made a hotcopy of my current 1.4 repo.


Also, I would recommend to use dump & load cycle to migrate your data.
Doing so will give you all features of 1.5 enabled by default, such as shards
and merge tracking.
