Hi Stefan, For some reason, this commit causes the forked process executing the pre-revprop-change script to segfault under certain circumstances.
My reproduction recipe script under x64 Ubuntu 12.10: [[[ #!/bin/sh ./autogen.sh ./configure --disable-shared --enable-maintainer-mode --without-berkeley-db make -sj ./subversion/svnadmin/svnadmin create /dev/shm/test_repo --pre-1.6-compatible printf "#!/bin/sh\nexit 0\n" > /dev/shm/test_repo/hooks/pre-revprop-change chmod +x /dev/shm/test_repo/hooks/pre-revprop-change ./subversion/svnsync/svnsync init file:///dev/shm/test_repo/ http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf ./subversion/svnsync/svnsync sync file:///dev/shm/test_repo/ ]]] This crashes for me reliably at rev 80 but YMMV. -- Stefan^2. -- Certified & Supported Apache Subversion Downloads: * http://www.wandisco.com/subversion/download *
