Hi David,
First, to cover the PySVN vs. Subvertpy question, Subvertpy was only the
default for the first release or two of 2.0.x. It had a lot of
compatibility problems and broke in far too many situations, so we flipped
the defaults. If it was working for you and you want to go back to it, you
can set the following in settings_local.py:
SVNTOOL_BACKENDS = [
'reviewboard.scmtools.svn.subvertpy',
'reviewboard.scmtools.svn.pysvn',
]
Alright, on to the problem at hand.
Passwords for repositories are stored encrypted. Perhaps something went
wrong between the dump and restore that broke this. Can you check your dump
file and the contents in the database for the repository
(scmtools_repository table) to see if it's the expected password in plain
text, or if it's something encrypted that starts with a tab character? If
it's neither, that's the problem.
You can, in this case, change the stored password in the repository to your
plain text password. The next time Review Board reads the password in for
the repository, it will re-encrypt it.
One more thing: Did you copy over the old site directory, or create a new
one from scratch?
Christian
