Hello, Format 6 of FSFS repository was introduced only in Subversion 1.8 (not yet released). We started format 6 support implementation, but didn't finish it yet. I wouldn't recommend you to use current state of format 6 implementation in SVNKit, because the current codebase is rather unstable and can corrupt your repository. Better wait for SVNKit release (I can't name even approximate date because there's a number of changes in Subversion 1.8 compared to 1.7 that should be supported by SVNKit release).
As you asked about SVNKit source code, currently SVNKit trunk contains experimental code with format 6 and other Subversion 1.8 features implementation. In parallel we develop "1.7.x" branch with more or less stable code where only bugfixes are added. So r9731 was from 1.7.x branch, and r9594 was from the trunk. To build SVNKit from sources we use gradle: ./gradlew clean publish -Pto=/tmp/svnkit-release -x svnkit-javahl16:signMaven or ./gradlew clean jar -x svnkit-javahl16:signMaven Also gradle supports uploading to maven, but this requires special maven repository settings specification. -- Dmitry Pavlenko, TMate Software, http://subgit.com/ - git-svn bridge > Hi! > > I'm having problems opening repositories created by Subversion 1.7.9 > (r1462340) with SVNKit 1.7.9: > > org.tmatesoft.svn.core.SVNException: svn: E180001: Unable to open an > ra_local session to URL > svn: E180001: Unable to open repository 'file:///repo-path' > svn: E160043: Expected FS format between '1' and '5'; found format '6' > > I checked the current source code for SVNKit and I see that on > revision 9594 max DB_FORMAT was set to 6 (in March).
