I tried to migrated my repo without success. My original repository is on an old Windows server and the new server is a Windows server (2012).

Steps I follow:

1/ On the old server, I create a dump. 

svnadmin dump PathtoMyOldRepo > MyOldRepo.svn_dump

Here, I see all revision diplayed like 

 * Revision 0 déchargée.
 * Révision 1 déchargée.
 * Rév...

All look ok

2/ I created a Repo on the new server with the follow command line:

svnadmin create --fs-type=bdb \NewRepoName

All look ok

3/ I tried to dump the old repo to the new repo and here, nothing work! Following command lines don't work:

svnadmin load /MyNewRepoName < //MyOldRepoPath

Here I've got an error message:

L'opérateur « < » est réservé à une utilisation futures

Traduction: Operator « < » is reserved to futur application

So, I tried to replacer the < with | or cat without success.

The command line svnadmin load /MyNewRepoName cat //MyOldRepoPath generated nothing. I press enter and the following message appear : Ent^te de fichier de sauvegarde malform'e traduction File Header malformed

Like you can see, I'n not very familiar with command lines and if you have a solution, I'll be very happy.

  • Good question. I just copy a command line without understand selected option. So, I re-created an another Repo with just `svnadmin create /NameOfNewRepo` and try the load comand without success... – Thomas Jun 18 '15 at 10:03

  1. Try describe problem more accurately.

You dump data to file MyOldRepo.svn_dump and then what with this file? Nothing?

Then you try load data from misterious MyOldRepoPath. What is this?

And error subversion messages usually prefrixed with Enumber. It is valuable information.

  1. Use full paths

    PC1:
svnadmin dump c:\PathtoMyOldRepo > c:\MyOldRepo.svn_dump
PC2:
svnadmin load c:\PathtoMyNewRepo < c:\MyOldRepo.svn_dump

  • Sergey, I re-dump on my PC1 with the complete path and I can see the .svn_dump file into my old repo. But I do the same with PC2 and entire path but the error message is always the same. My command line : – Thomas Jun 18 '15 at 11:17
  • So, now you should copy c:\MyOldRepo.svn_dump to PC2 as c:\MyOldRepo.svn_dump ands run second command. Does it works ? – Sergey Azarkevich Jun 18 '15 at 11:18
  • My command line : `svnadmin load /E:/ProjectSVN < //192.168.1.151/D:/AppRepositories/MyProject` where E:/ProjectSVN is the new repo on the new server (PC2) and 192.168.1.151 the IP adress of the old server (PC1) where my old repo is located. The error message is: `Au caractère Ligne:1 : 30 + svnadmin load /E:/ProjectSVN < //192.168.1.151/D:/AppRepositories/MyProject + ~ L'opérateur « < » est réservé à une utilisation future. + CategoryInfo : ParserError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : RedirectionNotSupported` – Thomas Jun 18 '15 at 11:25
  • If I can translate, the error message is something like : `at the character line:1 30 + svnadmin load /E:/ProjectSVN < //192.168.1.151/D:/AppRepositories/MyProject + ~ Operator « < » is reserved to a futur operation` – Thomas Jun 18 '15 at 11:27
  • I try to copy the .svn_dump on the PC2 and run the second command line but the same error message is displayed – Thomas Jun 18 '15 at 11:53
  • 1. Try execute both commands in cmd.exe. Powershell can provide unwanted 'help' 2. You try to load AppRepositories/MyProject. Is it dump file? Look like repository directory. Use .dump extension for all dump files for sake of clarity – Sergey Azarkevich Jun 18 '15 at 12:02
  • Yes, it work with cmd.exe! But I can't checkout the new repo created before with the svnadmin create command line. When I look into the new server, there is no SVN icon over the new repo file. – Thomas Jun 18 '15 at 12:45

Just a little thing: dump and load are ok. But I can't checkout the new repo created with svnadmin create /NameOfNewRepo

  • I try to do a checkout directly on the new server with `file:///E:/SVN_Repositories/MyProjectDumped` and it's work. But it don't work with a client on the network and the `svn://AdressOfServer/E:/SVN_Repositories/MyProjectDumped` link. I check if the SVNserve service is ON and all is ok – Thomas Jul 07 '15 at 08:02
