Re: E200004 error during commit
I believe this unfortunately means your repository is corrupt. If you
have a backup of the repository, the easiest way is probably to
restore the backup.
If you don't have a backup and have to try to manually restore the
repository, Daniel Shahaf goes into quite a bit of detail in these
previous threads on the mailing list:
https://lists.apache.org/thread/8sokdqly67db11g6vs5v547xwz1hrp74
https://lists.apache.org/thread/0y7kpppv3f0ms301m13pw0qybr47wjb4
Maybe these can help you to figure out the correct value of the L2P
offset?
Unfortunately, I don't have a backup. The current revision is 1203, so
this means the corruption is way back in r319?
After reading the threads, I don't quite understand how to fix L2P. The
problem is now sometimes I'm unable to commit.

Re: Peforce GitLFS like features
If you really want to keep the binary assets out of the main code repository, you can use Subversions Externals definitions (see https://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.advanced.externals.html) where you can pull in a file or a folder from some other repository in to the working copy tree. Then you could have multiple repositories for the binary assets, retiring (and removing) repositories and switching the externals definition to point to the new repository. I have tried external many years ago (10?), I faced tons of issues. I can't remember exactly what, it was either commiting/update/revert that needed extra steps , and could be missed out. Was using tortoisesvn. In Subversion 1.15 (not yet released) there will be an option to skip the pristine copies, effectively cutting storage requirement in half, at the expense of more network traffic. When running in this mode, the client will only have one copy of each file with only a tiny bit of overhead for configuration. That's sounds like what I'm looking for, great! When the project size is in TBs, you do want to try save space when binary assets are not delta stored.

A lot of the files are binary taking up bulk of space. For bigger projects in game industry, peforce is commonly used, and they have a few features which are quite neat. 1. User can specify certain files that don't need to store full history. Server keep only X number of rev history cos the older revisions are not needed. e.g a artist photoshop file, we don't need full history, usually only the latest or a few revisions. This is unfortunately not possible. The history in Subversion is "immutable", you cannot remove things from the repository. On the other hand, large repositories is not a problem (except for the required disk space). If you really want to keep the binary assets out of the main code repository, you can use Subversions Externals definitions (see https://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.advanced.externals.html) where you can pull in a file or a folder from some other repository in to the working copy tree. Then you could have multiple repositories for the binary assets, retiring (and removing) repositories and switching the externals definition to point to the new repository. But that means an old version of the code will effectively be unbuildable since it points to non-existing binary assets. I think the cost for some disk space on the server will be a lot lower than the cost (in hours) for any extra complexity trying to eliminate old versions. 2. Server don't keep a duplicate copy of those files on client, client get 1 copy only. This would be similar to git LFS. Contrary to Git, in Subversion the client will only store the "current" version of a file in a working copy (when checking out a repository). "Current" here means the version you decide to check out, not necessarily the latest. In Subversion 1.14 and earlier, you will also get an extra copy called "pristine version" (hidden in the administrative directory .svn) for each version of the file you have had in your working copy. If the user wants to switch to another version, a simple local copy is the only thing required. The downside is of course the extra storage space required, in particular when working with a lot of different revisions of each file. The command svn cleanup can remove unused pristine copies to save disk space. In Subversion 1.15 (not yet released) there will be an option to skip the pristine copies, effectively cutting storage requirement in half, at the expense of more network traffic. When running in this mode, the client will only have one copy of each file with only a tiny bit of overhead for configuration. If SVN has these features natively, it would be greatest tool. Otherwise, how would it be possible to make such a setup? In general, storing large binary files is an area where the design of Subversion is superior to Git (where you need addons such as LFS).

Error 10179 / SVN loses authentication during session
Hello, We use SVN with a small team (3 developers), and we've been experiencing some strange issues lately. We use tortoiseSVN to connect to out repository from Windows explorer, and some of the time some of our actions get rejected, asking us to log in again. As I also received an error, perhaps these two are related. (see below for full error copy) When actually using the provided login dialog, we never actually get access. (even checking the remember me checkbox does not solve it.) All three of our users have this issue, but not all of the time. For example, this morning I was allowed to update to the latest versions, and perform some searches through the logs (code review). After a couple of files I suddenly got the login dialog, after which the error popped up. Workaround: Some of the time, I've managed to actually continue my work by resetting my password in Assembla (through the website). But that does not work consistently. Attempts made to solve it on our end: -Install the latest version of SVN/Tortoise -Removing the authentication files (so Tortoise could regenerate them) What can we do to fix this? Kind regards, Robin Oudhuis --- Subversion Exception! --- Subversion encountered a serious problem.

Upgrade 1.5.4 to 1.7.5
Hi Subversion fellows, we plan to upgrade our Subversion Server from version 1.5.4 to 1.7.5 Subversion runs in a context of a HTTPD version 2.2.3 with FSFS repository structure. It has been build manually by compiling the source code. Server environment is a SLES system. My humble questions are the following: Do I just need to compile the new source and overwrite the existing binary files? Are there any new dependencies or upgrades? It's long ago since I installed Subversion and I'm not an advanced Linux administrator in case of installing software by hand from source code. So I thank you in advance for your anwers and hints. Best regards Robin Güldenpfennig
corrupt repository Missing field in node-rev
I have a subversion repository that had some corruption back 6 months ago. I knew that all I needed to do was find the corrupted db/revpros/0/XX file and replace it with a similar revisioned file and so I did not deal with it at the time. The errors are (when trying to run verify command): error message on: svnadmin verify /myrepository/path -r 416 (and 417): revision file lacks trailing newline' then on rev 418,419,420 the error is: Corrupt node-revision '0-2.0.r416/2259'. Missing field in node-rev This error is one that apparently was fixed 5 years ago, but I am running subversion version 1.6.6 from June 2011, on Ubuntu. So now I am wanting a non-corrupted svn repository and cannot clean it up. I have tried to run cleanup, that does not help. I have tried to replace out up to 5 potentially corrupted /db/revprops/0/xx files but this did not help. I tried to dump revisions 0-415, then dump revisions 435-489. (this would leave out the corrupted files that do not verify). I created a blank repository and loaded 0-415 then tried to load the second dump file. (thinking I could then try to get a working copy of files from that and update them as needed). I got error File already exists: filesystem '.../db', transaction '415-bl', path 'project'. Can you restore multiple dump files to a repository? If so, how? Any suggestions on how to fix this? thank you!

Correcting an old branching error
Hi, I'm quite new to SVN having previously used CVS many years ago. I am working on a solo (thankfully) embedded C project which I am using to help me learn the ropes. I do not administer the server I am using, this is done by my workplace, but I do have my own repository space for the project. Several weeks ago, I branched my project so I could port it to a new hardware platform without messing up the main trunk. I now want to merge the branch back onto the trunk. It seems that I have made an error in the directory structure so now I cannot merge it back. I will try to explain in detail what I did. My repository looks like this, ProjectName ProjectName Module1 ProjectName Module2 ProjectName branches ProjectName tags The ModuleX directories contain a large hierarchy of files (source, IDE project and other binary files) and folders. I have eliminated these for brevity. I realise now that the repository /should/ really look like this but please bear with me: ProjectName ProjectName trunk ProjectName trunk Module1 ProjectName trunk Module2 ProjectName branches ProjectName tags I took a branch of my project and used switch on my working copy so it still looked like this: ProjectName ProjectName Module1 ProjectName Module2 ProjectName branches ProjectName tags I have been working on this branch for several weeks and committing as I go. But rather than committing onto a branch I have really been committing into a subdirectory of the trunk of the main project which contains a duplicate of the project as due to my mistake my repository actually looks like this: ProjectName ProjectName Module1 ProjectName Module2 ProjectName branches ProjectName branches NewPlatform Module1 ProjectName branches NewPlatform Module2 ProjectName tags When I try to merge the branch back onto the trunk I end up with two disparate versions of my modules, one in the ProjectName ModuleX directory containing whatever it was before the branch, and a second in ProjectName branches NewPlatform ModuleX, containing what I have been working on over the last few weeks. What I really wanted were singular ProjectName ModuleX directories which have the merged changes from what I was working on before and what I have been on most recently. It is important to note that the NewPlatform branch contains a different set of IDE project files etc. I would like to have the merged trunk to contain the superset of files required for each hardware platform. How can I fix the repository structure so my branch is actually a branch and so I can merge in what I want to? Thanks and best regards.
Files silenty disappear (no corruption) 1.6.15
Hi Reporting a strange incident, one of my subdirectories disappeared from the repository entirely. When I do a Show Log, I could not see the folder was even added or deleted. I had weekly backups so I able to restore and compare them. - My rev is now 188 (as of today I discovered the problem) - at rev 98, the log file went blank and the entries of the folder disappeared. In some backups, the log file was fine and showed the folder files were modified. However contents still disappeared. Only an old backup two months ago I restored,the file contents were fine. - rev 165, the whole log entry disappeared. In some older backups, the log entry was blank and the Date entry become (No date) svnadmin verify passes without problems on current svn. I've been using svn for many years, this is a new repository, and first time I've seen files disappeared without a corrupted repository reported. Running windows using fs, svn 1.6.15. Client is tortoisesvn 1.6.12

kmradke at rockwellcollins.com writes: Did you add, or did the already have authz based access control? No, I did not modify anything. The authz was the same when I created the repository. (And do you still have read access to that path?) No, the path is missing in the current repository. I can only find it in my old backup a few weeks ago. Did you dump, filter, and reload the repository at some point removing files in that path? Either of these actions would result in log entries with (no date)... Nope. Just normal usage. If you are using an unpacked fsfs repository, check to see the size of the file with the revision number in the db/revs directory. Is it really small? rev 98 is 174 MB It is the same size in the current repository and in the old working backup. rev 165 is 8 Mb.
