Package: subversion Version: 1.5.1dfsg1-1 Severity: normal "svnadmin dump --incremental --deltas" should give deltas against the previous revision[*], but this is not the case:
ay:~> svnadmin dump -r25091 --incremental --deltas svn | wc -c * Dumped revision 25091. 895059 ay:~> svn diff -c25091 wd | wc -c 59049 Note that there are only text files. As you can see, "svn diff" is much more efficient than "svnadmin dump --incremental --deltas". The output of "svnadmin dump --incremental --deltas" shows very old contents that should thus have appeared in its output. [*] From the svn-book: The second useful option is --deltas. This option causes svnadmin dump to, instead of emitting full-text representations of file contents and property lists, emit only deltas of those items against their previous versions. This reduces (in some cases, drastically) the size of the dump file that svnadmin dump creates. There are, however, disadvantages to using this option---deltified dump files are more CPU-intensive to create, cannot be operated on by svndumpfilter, and tend not to compress as well as their nondeltified counterparts when using third-party tools such as gzip and bzip2. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (900, 'stable'), (200, 'unstable') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-powerpc Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages subversion depends on: ii libapr1 1.2.12-4 The Apache Portable Runtime Librar ii libc6 2.7-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libsasl2-2 2.1.22.dfsg1-23 Cyrus SASL - authentication abstra ii libsvn1 1.5.1dfsg1-1 Shared libraries used by Subversio subversion recommends no packages.
