hotcopy problem

Hello, 

 

I have a problem with the 'svnadmin hotcopy' command. I'm creating a new
depot under svn 1.2.0 with several huge operations (import). After every big
change I made a backup with 'svnadmin dump' and 'svnadmin hotcopy'.
Unfortunately I made a mistake and had to restore an older version, which
was created with 'hotcopy'. With the restored depot I could work without
problems. But the next backup with 'hotcopy' failed, due to a missing rev 0
file.  It seems to me that 'svnadmin hotcopy' never backup the rev 0 file. 

The good news are, the restore via dump-files worked fine.

 

Any ideas?

 

Regards

 

            Thomas

I don't think that's the case, I think there must be some other  
reason that you rev 0 file is missing.
