#348: Svnsync against MapGuide repository fails with chunk delimiter was invalid

I am creating a mirror of the MapGuide svn repository using svnsync. I
have been able to sucessfully pull up to revision 2793 but I am getting
"Chunk delimiter was invalid" errors when I try to svnsync past this
point.

Numerous posts on the web seem to indicate that svnsync can fail for
various reasons and a suggested workaround is to svnadmin dump.

Can I get a dump of the remaining revisions? It should be less than a
gigabyte.

svnadmin dump /path/to/mapguide --revision 2794:3780 > 2794to3780.dump

Hmm... that's weird. Our svnsync mirror has all of the revisions up to
r3780 http://svnmirror.osgeo.org/mapguide/ I wonder if your problem might
have been related to our recent spat of freezups and overloads that we're
investigating.

Comment (by jbirch):

I've seen this kind of error fairly consistently on the OSGeo server when
doing standard (not svnsync) checkouts of large repositories, and I'd just
written it down to http connection limiting or something similar.

I thought that at some point svn dumps were being made available via a web
share for backup purposes?

Yep, they are http://svn.osgeo.org/dumps/mapguide/ but they need to be
manually cat'ted together.

Comment:

I've run an svnsync on a local mapguide repository overnight, and had no
problems of this sort. If this i s still a current problem, please feel
free to reopen this ticket, and I will do my best to investigate further.
