I've noticed that it is possible to get nodes with: is-fresh-txn-root: y
in the revision files of FSFS repositories. One way this occurs is when empty revisions are committed: $ svnadmin create repo1 $ svn mkdir -mm file://`pwd`/repo1/A $ svnadmin create repo2 $ svnadmin dump repo1 | svndumpfilter exclude A | svnadmin load repo2 $ grep is-fresh repo2/db/revs/*/* repo2/db/revs/0/1:is-fresh-txn-root: y I don't know it causes a problem or not, but it doesn't really make sense since is-fresh-txn-root is an attribute of nodes in a transaction. -- uberSVN: Apache Subversion Made Easy http://www.uberSVN.com
