Dump/load cycle required!
If you have Subversion repositories that you can't afford to lose, you
will, as of revision 2491, need to perform a dump/load cycle on those
repositories.
Depending on the age of your repositories, you need to do slightly
different things. If your repositories were created with a version of
svnadmin prior to 2092:
- Why did you not do this dump/load the last time we told you about
it? No matter. Download the subversion-r2092d.tar.gz from the
"Releases" folder of the "File sharing" page at
http://subversion.tigris.org.
- Build the tarball.
- Use the `svnadmin' you just built to generate a dumpfile for each
of your repositories.
If, like most of us, your repositories have already been dump/loaded
post-2092, or were created with revision of Subversion between 2092
and 2490:
- Download the subversion-r2402.tar.gz from the "Releases" folder of
the "File sharing" page at http://subversion.tigris.org.
- Build the tarball.
- Use the `svnadmin' you just built to generate a dumpfile for each
of your repositories.
In both cases, you will now want to move your old repositories out of
the way, and then run `svnadmin create REPOS_NAME' to recreate them as
empty repositories, then `svnadmin load REPOS_NAME < REPOS_DUMP_FILE'
to re-load all your old revisions and such into the new empty
repositories.
