Problems trying to load from multiple dumps
Any help would be highly appreciated.
The domain: a 37 gig subversion repository. revisions 0:183031
subversion version 1.4.4 ubuntu linux OS
The problem: We have a bad record at 85431. We need to get rid of this
record so that we can use Fisheye.
Our attempted solution: split the dump at (A) 0:85420 (B) 85440:90000
(Don't need the whole dump to test solutions).
Outcomes of different attempts to load these archives.
1) Load A and then try to load B - get the error message svnadmin: File
already exists: filesystem '/svn/lizTest/db', transaction '85420-1',
path 'jserv_G4'
2) Load B - get the error message svnadmin: Relative source revision
-10 is not available in current repository
Load exits on both of these error messages
Query: How do I get around these error messages to get a decent dump?
Added information. I have tried to do this with dumps that went from
0:85430 and 85432:90000, but they did not work in the exact same way for
attempt #1. I dumped fewer records this time hoping that it was
something to do with being related to the bad record.

When you say "bad record", what's the exact error message you're seeing,
and for what operations?

So perhaps somewhere between r85420 and r85440, 'jserv_G4' was removed,
and later another file added at that same path (or the original file
restored)? Does that match with your records?

Yeah, I wouldn't expect loading B by itself to work -- it depends on too
much history created in A.

Do you get the same result if you try 0:85430 and 85431:90000? (Note
the "1" instead of "2" at the end of "85431" this time.)
