Hi there, we're using SCM-Manager 3.11.7 as SVN Server. The software is running on Windows Server 2025. As client tool we're using Tortoise SVN 1.14.9. For our daily work the combination works like a charm. The SCM-Manager SVN plugin is set to SVN 1.7 compatibility mode. On the server Tortoise SVN is also installed including the CLI tools. The CLI tools are added to the path so they're available without any problems.
Our backups are created with scripts. The dumps are created using the svnrdump command, the imports are done either using the UI of SCM-Manager or the svnadmin load command on the CLI. Both works as expected without any problems. Now some of our repositories needs some restructuring. Because of this I want to create a partial dump on the server using a combination of svnadmin dump and svndumpfilter. This results in an error. I'm using: svnadmin dump <path-to-repo>\data | svndumpfilter include <repobranch> --renumber-revs --drop-empty-revs > partial.dump svnadmin: E070014: Can't read file '<path-to-repo>\data\db\uuid': End of file found Including (and dropping empty revisions for) prefixes: '<repobranch>' svndumpfilter: E200003: Premature end of content data in dumpstream I've googled the SVN error, tried to force file format of the UUID file to be UTF-8, using Linux EOL style, added an additional UUID, replaced the complete file with a new one... No success. I've also tried to use commands like svnadmin verify and svnadmin fix to get rid of this problem, also without success. They result all in the same or in similar errors. As hint from the TortoiseSVN mailinglist somebody noted, that there should be two IDs in the UUID file - in fact there is only one. Currently I'm puzzled and do not have any idea to succeed. I'll be happy if somebody can point me to the right direction to solve this issue. I'm continuing my quest here after somebody at TortoiseSVN redirected me to here. Our daily work flags no problems with this tool combination. Maybe I'm wrong, so please apologize. Freundliche Grüße / Kind regards, i.A.
