The Problem

\n
\n

So today I managed to fsck my SVK depot. In attempting to use mst's Reaction I mistakenly mirrored the repository under //mirrror/reaction. As noticed when i tried the following commands

\n
[ash@bowser perl]$ svk co //mirror/reaction\npath /mirror does not exist.\n\n[ash@bowser perl]$ svk co -d /home/ash/perl/reaction\nCheckout path '/home/ash/perl/reaction' detached.\n\n[ash@bowser perl]svk mirror -l\nPath                    Source\n============================================================\n//mirror/your_prefs     https://mydomain.com/svn/...\n//mirrror/reaction      http://code2.0beta.co.uk/reaction/svn\n\n[ash@bowser perl]$ svk mv //mirrror/reaction //mirror/reaction\nWaiting for editor...\nCommitted revision 251.\nCommitted revision 252.\n[ash@bowser perl]$ svk mirror -l\nPath                    Source\n============================================================\n//mirror/your_prefs     https://mydomain.com/svn/...\n
\n

Oh look at that. Its not there anymore. Hrmmmmm. What happens if we try to mirror it again...

\n
[ash@bowser perl]$ svk mirror //mirror/reaction http://code2.0beta.co.uk/reaction/svn\n/mirror/reaction already exists.\n
\n

Ah, so lets remove it then try again:

\n
[ash@bowser perl]$ svk rm //mirror/reaction\nWaiting for editor...\nCommitted revision 253.\n[ash@bowser perl]$ svk co http://code2.0beta.co.uk/reaction/svn \n<snip svk output>\nDepot path: [//mirror/svn] //mirror/reaction\nFilesystem has no item: File not found: revision 253, path '/mirrror/reaction'\n[ash@bowser perl]$ svk mirror -l\nPath                    Source\n============================================================\n//mirror/your_prefs     https://mydomain.com/svn/...\n
\n

Bah. That didn't work either.

\n
[ash@bowser perl]$ svk ls //\nmirror/\nmirrror/\n[ash@bowser perl]$ svk rm //mirrror\n//mirrror contains mirror, remove explicitly: //mirrror/reaction\n[ash@bowser perl]$ svk rm //mirrror/reaction\nno source specificed at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.7/SVN/Mirror.pm line 52.\n
\n\n
\n

The Solution

\n
\n

To fix this problem, you have to remove the moved mirror from the svm:mirror property on the root of your depot (// in most cases.)

\n
[ash@bowser perl]$ svk pg svm:mirror //\n/mirror/your_prefs\n/mirrror/reaction\n[ash@bowser perl]$ svk ps  svm:mirror "/mirror/your_prefs\n> " //\nWaiting for editor...\nCommitted revision 254.\n[ash@bowser perl]$ svk mirror //mirror/reaction http://code2.0beta.co.uk/reaction/svn\nCommitted revision 255.\n[ash@bowser perl]$ svk sync //mirror/reaction\nSyncing http://code2.0beta.co.uk/reaction/svn\nRetrieving log information from 1 to 216\nCommitted revision 256 from revision 1.\n...\nCommitted revision 471 from revision 216.\n
\n

Huzzah! It's working!. Now to just remove //mirrror:

\n
[ash@bowser perl]$ svk rm //mirrror\nWaiting for editor...\nCommitted revision 472.\n
\n

Done and dusted.

\n

Tho strangely this bug report seems to imply this problem as fixed in 2005. However the above and [svk-devel] Unable to recover from zombie mirror say otherwise.

\n

Anyone know differently?\n
