I'd like to migrate my svn repository from my local computer running windows and VisualSVN 2.1.2 to an svn app on webfaction (my Linux hosting solution).
Initially I tried dumping the svn:
svnadmin dump *path_to_repository* > *dumpfile_name*
and loading it on the Linux machine
svnadmin load *dumpfile_name*
I received the following error:
svnadmin: Can't open file '*dumpfile_path_and_name*/format': Not a directory
I found that on my Windows machine I do have a format folder under the repository. So I copied the entire repository to the Linux machine and tried:
svnadmin load *path_to_repository_copy*
I received the following error:
svnadmin: Expected FS format between '1' and '3'; found format '4'
what should I do?
