SVNBook tells that a repository dump generated with svnadmin dump
never includes leading slashes in Node-path
and Node-copyfrom-path
headers.
Inconsistent usage of slashes in these headers (as far as I understand, it can happen after combining 2 repository dumps generated via different tools) can cause issues when filtering a repository dump.
So which tools generate a repository dump with leading slashes in path headers? In what case a repository dump can have an inconsistent leading slashes usage?
SVN-DumpReloc Perl script generates leading slashes in Node-path
and Node-copyfrom-path
headers.
So, combining repository dumps, when one of them was processed with SVN-DumpReloc will create a dump file with inconsistent usage of slashes.
