FSFS Version

Further investigation on my FSFS version problem

I am using version 1.4.6 subverion to read an older 1.4.x (I think) archived
repository.

If I run: "svnadmin verify <my repository>" it reports an error: "svnadmin:
Expected FS format '2'; found format '3'"

How come the FS format for the archived repository is newer than the FS
version current svn supports?

How can I translate from FSFS 3 to FSFS 2? (Had a disk crash, so don't have
original SVN version)

Is the file/directory format for FSFS 3 and FSFS 2 published somewhere?

Regards

Ian McLauchlan

If it says format '3' while expecting '2' and you're running the
latest 1.4.x, then you probably were not running a 1.4.x version. In
fact, I looked it up and the format '3' code only exists in
1.5-prereleased versions. Did you run a beta-test version from
openCollabNet, maybe?

Because development versions use a newer format to support merge-tracking.

No. [Note: if it were, you still wouldn't do anything with the
information, because it's outright dangerous to hand-edit your
repository!]

One solution would be to install the soon to be released 1.5-alpha1,
because that supports version '3'.

HTH,


Erik.
