svnsync: PROPFIND request failed

Hi everyone! I'm desperately trying to backup my google code-repo but since I'm not too familiar with SVN, I can't get svnsync to work.

Tool to migrate a repo with only read access?

I have a subversion repository located on our school servers from a project my friends and I worked on the past semester. We want to take the project and polish it and make it more of a portfolio item and I'm not quite sure that the repo will stay intact on the school servers (they usually wipe it after a few semesters). I don't have acc...

Svn - get the list of all repos on a server so I can svnsync

I'm attempting to create a backup of my client's existing svn repositories, which is publicly available over http.

Can/Should I run svnadmin pack on a mirrored repository

We're mirroring a 1.6 repo using svnsync. We run svnadmin pack once a week on the master repo, but I'm wondering if we can or should also run it on the mirrored repository. From what I understand of SVN internals, the filesystem changes svnadmin pack makes would not be mirrored (which makes sense I guess). Can someone confirm if I can/sh...

Issues mirroring and SVN repository

I am trying to mirror a repository to my local machine. From what I have read the best way to approach this is using svnsync. When I go to set up this i am getting errors back that svnadmin and svnsync are unknown commands. Is there an add on I need to download to be able to perform these commands? The basic command line commands for svn...

What's the point of a read-only copy of your repository via svnsync?

I've been reading up on svnsync to create a read-only copy of our repository, but I don't really understand what the point of having a read-only copy of the repository is. If the master goes down for some reason can the read-only copy become read/write so people can commit to it? If not, then what's the point of a read-only copy? ...

svnsync not working : Revprop change blocked by pre-revprop-change hook

Hi all, I'm trying to copy a used repository by using svnsync (I'm doing it this way in order to ensure optimal usage of my repository as long as its machine is working) but it does not seems to work. I have two machines (I've changed the names, but not the other infos) INITIAL : custom Linux with Subversion 1.4.5 (r25188) (as reporte...

Should a call to SVNSYNC be blocking or not in a post-commit hook?

Hi I've set up mirroring of my repository and it works nicely but I've had an issue recently. The target repository was left with an unreleased lock somehow - from what I read this may be caused by an abort to the svnsync operation and I suspect it may be because in my post-commit hook I'm executing svnsync in blocking mode rather then...
