svn upgrade fails with failed assertion

[dclist <dc...@gmail.com>]

I'm trying to upgrade a very old svn repo but the command is failing.

% svn upgrade .
svn:
/build/buildd/subversion-1.7.5/subversion/libsvn_subr/dirent_uri.c:1518:
uri_skip_ancestor: Assertion `svn_uri_is_canonical(parent_uri, ((void
*)0))' failed.
[1]    3298 abort      svn upgrade .


Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

"working copy" rather than "repo".

1.7.5 is old, a couple of fixes in more recent 1.7.x may be relevant:

 User-visible changes:
  - Client- and server-side bugfixes:
    * fix assertion on urls of the form 'file://./' (r1516806)

  - Client-side bugfixes:
    * upgrade: fix an assertion when used with pre-1.3 wcs (r1530849)

I don't know, but 1.7 is up to 1.7.14... 1.7.5 is pretty old.

Also, have you tried to dump and load?
