SubversionException when adding svn repository after Trac installation.

[tony.maher@…]

I installed Trac without initially specifying the subversion repository. I then added some plugins:

• Bitten-0.6dev-py2.4.egg
• TracWebAdmin-0.1.2dev_r6060-py2.4.egg
• IniAdmin-0.1-py2.4.egg

When adding Bitten I did have to run trac-admin /trac/mytrac upgrade

Everything (including all plugins) was working fine at this point.

Then I created the subversion respository and added it to the trac.ini file using IniAdmin. repository_dir = /var/svn/myrepo

Trac now failed with (sorry did not make copy of original traceback) that finished with

SubversionException: ('No such revision:1')

I found ticket #3875 and #4132 and tried:

trac-admin /trac/mytrac resync
Resyncing repository history... 
(this will take a time proportional to the number of your changesets)
Command failed: ('No such revision 1', 160006)

I got around the problem by creating branches, tags, and trunk directories in the repository and everything works fine. i.e. svn revision is now 1

I deleted the repository (trying to recreate the original traceback) and get a slightly different traceback

    raise TracError("The 'repository_dir' has changed, "
TracError: The 'repository_dir' has changed, a 'trac-admin resync' operation is needed.

Ok this time it recognizes it is a different repository (i.e. the SNV UUID has changed) from data stored in system table. but still

trac-admin /trac/mytrac resync
Password:
Resyncing repository history... 
(this will take a time proportional to the number of your changesets)
Command failed: ('No such revision 1', 160006)

I can reset system table youngest_rev|0 But still get 'No such revision 1'

The resync always seems to want to start at 1 not 0.

Usually I create svn repos first then create the trac site and specify the repo when trac created and have not seen this problem.

Only in this case where I added repo to Trac after creation and adding eggs did I see this problem.

Double-check your version. This sounds like a duplicate of #4937 which was fixed for 0.10.4.

[Tim Hatch]

Actually, this is a duplicate. From the traceback, you're running something between 0.10.3rc1 and 0.10.3.1. An upgrade should fix it.

Sorry - yes version on this box is 0.10.3 Thanks!
