Resume failed svnrdump dump | svnadmin load

Question

I tried to clone a remote svn repo like this:

svnadmin create /root/repo/
svnrdump dump svn://myserver | svnadmin load /root/repo/

But it failed with:

svnadmin: E140001: Sum of subblock sizes larger than total block content length
* adding path : [snip] ...svnrdump: E210008: Error while replaying commit

That doesn't look like a very meaningful error message. Is there some way I can just resume the dump/load operation?

Answer 1

You need to include --incremental something like

svnrdump dump svn://server/ --incremental -r REV:HEAD | svnadmin load /root/repo/
