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.
