I'm running into a bug in svnsync that was fixed some years ago for svn http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4088
The FreeBSD project is now running for users subversion mirror without svn:// access. The main issue I'm running into is a bug because the repos are located on /$repo and not on a sub path like /svn/$repo Running my existing svnsync repo against the new URL results in a core dump of svnsync Assertion failed: (svn_fspath__is_canonical(child_fspath)), function svn_fspath__skip_ancestor, file subversion/libsvn_subr/dirent_uri.c, line 2492. Abort trap (core dumped) Until now I have to clean after each svnsync the svnsync lock with $ svn pd svn:sync-lock --revprop -r 0 file:///$repo Details if from interest: svn properties (r0): svn:date : 2012-07-14T06:36:59.701452Z svn:sync-from-url : https://svn.freebsd.org/ports/ svn:sync-from-uuid : 35697150-7ecd-e111-bb59-0022644237b5 svn:sync-last-merged-rev : 392393 $ svn --version svn, version 1.8.13 (r1667537) compiled Jul 2 2015, 04:04:19 on amd64-portbld-freebsd10.1 ... * ra_svn : Module for accessing a repository using the svn network protocol. - handles 'svn' scheme * ra_local : Module for accessing a repository on local disk. - handles 'file' scheme * ra_serf : Module for accessing a repository via WebDAV protocol using serf. - using serf 1.3.8 - handles 'http' scheme - handles 'https' scheme Should I re- open bug #4088 ? -- Regards, olli
