I tried svnrdump on\nanother two randomly picked Codeplex Subversion repos, and it failed on\nall of them in the same way it failed for vld.\nHence maybe you should bring this issue with the Codeplex support team.\n\nP.S.\nPlease next time you cross-post (posting the same message to more\nthan one mailing list), include a reference to the original discussion\neven if it currently consists just of your message solely.\n"}]}
