I got a SVN repository copied onto my computer using svnsync. Now when I try to replay it using PySVN it fails at a specific revision (29762) with the message:
pysvn._pysvn_2_6.ClientError: URL ‘svn://svn.zope.org/repos/main/ZODB/trunk/src/Persistence’ doesn’t exist
I can checkout or update until the previous revision (29761) ok but after that I get this error.
My objective is to analyze the code structure and it’s evolution so I have
client.update(path,
revision=pysvn.Revision(pysvn.opt_revision_kind.number,
RevNumber),ignore_externals=False)
within a for loop that increments RevNumber
I am ok with ignoring this specific revision, so if there is a way around it that will allow my checked-out code to progress and be analyzed, that will be fine (as long as there aren’t many more instances of this happening).
Nevertheless, if my repo is a copy of a working repo, why doesn’t it work and how does the original one function properly?
Although the error message doesn’t hint to that, I believe it was caused by running out of disk space. After deleting other files on the drive and re-running the script it worked fine.
