Is svnadmin load affected by hooks?

[Bo Berglund <bo...@gmail.com>]

When I load a dump into an empty repo, will the operation be affected
by the hooks I have already set up for svnsync?
I have created dumpfiles for all 9 repos I want to sync, and now I am
about to load these into the repos I had prepared for sync when I
discovered that network problems interfered.

Gosh, that was unfortunate! I have just completed the local load
operation for all repos. If the UUID will block the subsequent
synchronize (which I have not come to yet but is next on my list),
then this is also all in vain...

But to be on the other side if I can use
svnadmin setuid <repo path>
to I get a fresh uuid on all of them, maybe that will make it work for
sync after all?

I was just worried about the hooks interfering with the load
operation. I have no need for them at all in that situation, but they
will be used during synchronize. And I used no extra arguments to the
load command.

If you're dumping into an empty repository, that typically resets the
repository UUID to match that of the dump file. Changing the UUID will
break the sync.

svnadmin load takes the options "--use-pre-commit-hook" and
"--use-post-commit-hook". Assuming you're using your post-commit hook to
trigger the calls to sync, you could pass that flag. That seems weird to
me, though, in that such an approach would trigger a sync request per
loaded commit.
