hotcopy format '5' error
hello,
if I run svnadmin hotcopy on my FSFS repository
I receive an error stating that format '3' is expected an format '5'
was found.
Indeed the format file in my repository contains a '5'.
Is this a general problem of hotcopy and format '5' ? or should the
format not be '5' in the first place?
thanks for any help
moritz

Format '5' says something about the Subversion version with which you
created the repository. The svnadmin version with which you created it
differs from the one which you are using to hotcopy with: the latter
doesn't know how to manipulate 'format 5' repositories and therefore
refuses to do so.
You may have 2 versions installed along side.
HTH,
Bye,
Erik.

You apparently created the repository with (or upgraded the
repository to the format used by) Subversion 1.4.x, but are now
trying to access it using an older version of svnadmin. You probably
still have older parts of Subversion on your system. Locate and
remove them and use only SUbversion 1.4.x components from now on.
