I am trying to move a folder from a subversion repository to another while keeping all of its histories intact and these are the commands I used: 

svnrdump dump -r0:HEAD http://asvn/original_repo/sub_folder_A | svnrdump load http://asvn/new_repo/sub_folder_A

the dump command itself works well but I am getting the following error when I try to use the load command:

svnrdump: E175002: DAV request failed; it's possible that the repository's pre-r evprop-change hook either failed or is non-existent svnrdump: E175002: Revprop change blocked by pre-revprop-change hook (exit code 1) with output:

** ERROR-FILES: Unable to get revision (0) file list: 'svnlook.exe: missing argument: r Type 'svnlook help' for usage.'

svnrdump: E135007: Write error in pipe

I found this link and added a pre-revprop-change.bat with exit 0 as suggested but I am getting a new error:

svnrdump: E175002: DAV request failed; it's possible that the repository's pre-r evprop-change hook either failed or is non-existent

svnrdump: E175002: Revprop change blocked by pre-revprop-change hook (exit code 1) with output:

** ERROR-FILES: Unable to get revision (0) file list: 'svnlook.exe: missing argument: r Type 'svnlook help' for usage.'

Have any of you came across this issue and know the solution to it?

Thanks!

  • Pre-revprop-change hook script seems to be broken on target repository. – bahrep Aug 21 '17 at 18:26
  • @bahrep, I have updated my question with the errors that I encounter when trying to fix the pre-revprop change hook script error. exit 0 doesn't seem to work in this case. – May Aug 21 '17 at 20:33
  • I'm going to check and post an answer in 24 hours. Thank you for the new info. – bahrep Aug 21 '17 at 20:34

I found this link and added a pre-revprop-change.bat with exit 0 as suggested but I am getting a new error:

I guess that you actually mix up the target and source repositories. The error that you see is coming from the target repository and it 100% has a pre-revprop-hook script that's broken in some way. It appears that the hook script has invalid svnlook command:

svnlook.exe: missing argument: r Type 'svnlook help' for usage.

  • hmm..the error messages were received after committing the pre-revprop-hook script was committed to the target repository. – May Aug 22 '17 at 17:01
  • @May I'm 100% sure that there is a problem with this script. You don't normally commit the script to the repository, it has to be in $repo/hooks directory on the file system where the repository resides. – bahrep Aug 22 '17 at 17:19
  • you're right, it's the hook. I am able to dump the load to the target repository now. Thank you for your help! – May Aug 28 '17 at 16:32
