Question: if I "svnadmin dump" a repository, is it safe to allow
read-only access to the repository while the dump is in progress? Or
is it the case that permitting even read access could interfere with
the "svnadmin dump" operation?
I ask because it will take a non-trivial amount of time to perform
svnadmin dump/load operations on all of Subversion repositories. If
we can at least permit read-only access while this upgrade is in
progress, that will have much less of an impact on our users then it
we have to block all access during the upgrade...
A "hot copy" by definition is one that will safely allow read-only
access while the backup is in progress.
