| <h2>Subversion Inconveniences</h2> |
| |
| <p> |
| These are some of the problems most likely to annoy new users: |
| </p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li><b>Repository deadlocks</b><br/> |
| <p>If an svn client is directly accessing a repository via a |
| file:/// url and is interrupted, or crashes, (or if httpd |
| crashes), the repository is likely to be left in a 'wedged' |
| state. You'll need to run |
| '<tt>svnadmin recover /path/to/repos</tt>' to |
| unwedge the repository. Make sure you shut down httpd before |
| doing this.</p> |
| <p>See |
| <a href="http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=739" |
| >Issue #739</a> |
| and |
| <a href="http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#wedged-repos" |
| >http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#wedged-repos</a> |
| for more details.</p> |
| </li> |
| |
| <li><b>Charset conversion failure mode too extreme</b><br/> |
| <p>If Subversion cannot convert log data to your local charset |
| encoding, it will (currently) just show "[unconvertible data]" |
| for the entire unconverted log message. This is lossier than |
| necessary. There are even some revisions in the Subversion |
| repository itself that exhibit this behavior when the client |
| locale is ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1).</p> |
| <p>See <a href="http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=807" |
| >Issue #807</a> for more details.</p> |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
