Hi,

I'm trying to import my SVN repository into GIT and its throwing an Assertion Failed error message in text_delta.c Can someone help me?

The assertion failed error occurs when running 'svn diff -r 288:289' which contains only one change - a change made to a binary file. That binary file is the Eclipse dataModel file, both revs (288, 289) have the file marked as application/octet-stream using the svn:mime-type property

subversion - 1.5.4 git - 1.6.0.6

The SVN repository was started using 1.4.6, if that matters

Here's the exact error message:

------- $ svn diff -r 288:289 svn: subversion/libsvn_delta/text_delta.c:609: apply_window: Assertion `window->sview_len == 0 || (window->sview_offset >= ab->sbuf_offset && (window->sview_offset + window->sview_len >= ab->sbuf_offset + ab->sbuf_len))' failed. Aborted -------

Thanks!

Re: Assertion Failed when importing svn into Git

Hi,

For more testing, I setup a brand new SVN repository (using v1.5.4).

In the old SVN Repo, I checked out the problematic file (.cache/.dataModel) from rev 288 and rev 289.

In the new SVN Repo, I added the problematic file (from rev 288) and committed, which became Rev 4.

Then I copied the problematic file (rev rev 289) ontop of that file and commited, which became Rev 5.

I'm successfully able to do a 'svn diff -r 4:5'.

Does this imply that I have corruption in my old SVN Repository?

Or is something being lost when checking out the file from Rev 289 that does break SVN in my test?

Re: Assertion Failed when importing svn into Git

Hi,

I have resolved this issue.

There was either corruption in the repository or an incompatibility between the 1.4.6 and the 1.5.4 formats.

A dump / reload of the repository has resolved the issue.

I can run 'svn diff -r 288:289' successfully on the new repository.

Thanks!
