Ben, you currently have a veto recorded against 1.7.x backport r1643074 - load with invalid mergeinfo:
* r1643074 Don't let invalid mergeinfo stop 'svnadmin load' from working. Part of issue #4476 "Mergeinfo containing r0 makes svnsync and svnadmin dump fail". Justification: The presence of 'bad' metadata in a repository should not prevent backing up and restoring from a backup, given that this data does not make the repository totally unusable. Notes: The 'svnadmin dump' part of this issue is already approved for backport. The 'svnsync' part of this issue is not yet fixed. Branch: ^/subversion/branches/1.7.x-r1643074 Votes: +1: julianfoad -1: breser (no changes on branch, attempt to merge something for this was mismerged on release branch in r1643189, the merge that was made broke swig-rb) I resolved the problems (and have just synchronized the branch); could you check and at least remove your veto please if not also review it? If anyone else can review it too, that would be great. The same fix is proposed on 1.8.x, not vetoed, approved by me and Philip, and just needs one more vote. I have just sync'd that one's branch too. - Julian
