cvs2svn - Try #2

[David Summers <da...@summersoft.fay.ar.us>]

A couple of months ago I tried converting our 6+ Gig 3.5 year-old (approx 
7000 commit) repository from CVS to SVN.

Karl (and others) was very helpful but I noted a problem with WinCVS 1.2 
which allows user names with spaces in them.  

I've now written a script (slighly tested) which should work to convert 
CVS repositories with the above propery to "proper" CVS repositories where 
the username doesn't have a space in it.  I'll send it in a separate 
message in a bit for people who are interested.

I ran this last night and then ran cvs2svn on the repository (copy) and 
cvs2svn converted the repository in about 2.8 hours to a DUMP file (7 
Gig).

This morning I proceeded to try to load the dump file into a newly created 
repository and after getting somewhere about 1/3 of the way 
through I got the following error with cvs2svn as of rev 6600:

$ cvs2svn --dump-only cvsroot 2>&1 | tee output.log
$ svnadmin load --ignore-uuid < cvs2svn-dump 2>&1 | tee load.log

....
.....

     * editing path : 
branches/ModCom_with_stl_alloc/source/lib/fslib_com/fscom_comhub.cpp ... 
done.
     * deleting path : 
branches/ModCom_with_stl_alloc/source/lib/fslib_com/Project/fslib_com.dsw 
...svn: Filesystem has no item
svn: file not found: transaction `20d', path 
`branches/ModCom_with_stl_alloc/source/lib/fslib_com/Project/fslib_com.dsw'


We have done a couple of branches (probably less than 5) in CVS and the 
branches we have probably don't have more than 2 or three changes on them 
so I don't think we've got a complicated repository at all.  We've 
probably got less than 30 tags.

Any suggestions?  What can I do to help debug this?  I've still got all 
the cvs2svn conversion files.

   Thanks!

Thanks for the report, David!

I think all you need to do is wait for us to resolve

   http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1442

...which is almost certainly the same as your problem.  (The
reproduction data in 1442 is much smaller than 6 gigs :-) ).

Thanks,
-Karl

Nice!  If you plan to support this script, though, and you have a
website that you anticipate being around for a file, perhaps you could
just post your script on that website for all to grab, and we could
reference your URL in the Subversion cvs2svn docs.

Yep, you aren't the first person to see this problem.  Karl and I are
looking into right now, in fact.

If you can pare your repository down to something smaller that still
produces the bug, and post a tarball of such somewhere, Karl and/or I
would be happy to grab it and add it to our list of repositories that
need a-fixin'.
