Description Paulo Andrade 2023-07-05 12:24:04 UTC

Message:

"""
WARNING 0x0002: E160005: While validating fspath 'non-utf8-path.ext': Path 'non-utf8-path.txt' is not in UTF-8
* Error verifying revision 52.
svnadmin: E160005: Path 'non-utf8-path.txt' is not in UTF-8
"""

is printed when running:

$ svn admin very path

The pathname has more than 5000 revisions.

Is there some way to edit the revision somehow and/or rename the file to
avoid the issue?

Can the repository be dumped/restored safely from rhel7 to rhel8? Maybe it
could be fixed with svndumpfilter, if yes, what would be a way to correct
the problem?

Seeing package versions and more background on the repro case would be helpful here.

Is this is a repo dumped by RHEL7 svnadmin, and being loaded by RHEL8 svnadmin (Subversion 1.10)?

"svndumpfilter exclude" may work, see https://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.ref.svndumpfilter.commands.c.exclude.html

We could dig more into this if you confirm exactly what they're trying to do.
