I've inherited a large Subversion Repository (74010 Revisions) and I am trying to perform a dump/load to upgrade the repository to the 1.8 version to take advantage of the space saving features.
Before attempting this process I ran svnadmin verify over the repository in question to ensure that the repository was in good shape. Unfortunately I received the following error message:
svnadmin: E160004: r1516's root node's predecessor is r1514 but should be r1515
I've done a lot of googling to try and find the meaning of this error, but have been unable to find information for this specific error outside of a bug that apparently only occurred for new repositories. Unfortunately it also appears that this error number is used for several classes of errors.
I can verify that this particular revision is missing when I perform a 'Show Log' in TortoiseSVN, I attempted to do a dump to see if we might be able to get a dump, but unsurprisingly it failed.
This does not appear (on the surface) to have affected daily usage of this repository, however the inability to dump the repository is not a good thing.
My questions are:
- Is there something I can do to try and recover what history I can from this repository and start fresh?
- Is there a way to have
svnadmin verifyshow all errors instead of just failing on the first error?
