Description Tim Janik 2007-03-15 18:13:14 UTC 
SVN module maintainers cannot currently backup the history of their own repositories.

with the regular svn client tools, only particular versions can be checked out of the svn.gnome.org repositories. to produce a full svn repository backup that contains all of a projects history, svnsync is required:
  http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn-book.html#svn.reposadmin.maint.replication

however, svnsync is new in svn version 1.4 and requires an svn server of version 1.4.x, so the current 1.3.x server running on svn.gnome.org needs updating to enable module backups.

This requires an OS upgrade due to the many modules that needed upgraded. Not going to happen soon (I think we run the long term support thingy currently).
Comment 2 Olav Vitters 2008-07-24 20:28:00 UTC 
Fixed a few months ago (IIRC).
