All,

Can anyone help to resolve the problem for migrating my old server svn repo to new server svn repo.

Here are my issues , I got dump file from my old server

  1. I have created repo in the new server
  2. and also created svn directory in the same repo

  3. Now i want to move my dump repo into the directory of the new repo

    i tried this below command svnadmin load --parent-dir /path/reponame/directory repo < dump file.

    But it was giving me an error "reponame/format file not found" .

    Please anyone give me an good solution for this issue.

Thanks n advance

I don't know (because I have no idea what --parent-dir /path/reponame/directory means for svnadmin load) but you could at least understand what is happenning by strace-ing the svnadmin command. – Basile Starynkevitch

P. 2 is not needed and bad - you must load dump in the root of previously created repo in simplest case

  • svnadmin create /path/to/repo
  • svnadmin load /path/to/repo < dumpfile
