Name
svnadmin upgrade — Upgrade a repository to the latest supported schema version.
Synopsis
svnadmin upgrade REPOS_PATH
Description
Upgrade the repository located at
REPOS_PATH
to the latest supported schema
version.
This functionality is provided as a convenience for repository administrators who wish to make use of new Subversion functionality without having to undertake a potentially costly full repository dump and load operation. As such, the upgrade performs only the minimum amount of work needed to accomplish this while still maintaining the integrity of the repository. While a dump and subsequent load guarantee the most optimized repository state, svnadmin upgrade does not.
Warning
You should always back up your repository before upgrading.
Options
None.
Examples
Upgrade the repository at path /var/repos/svn:
$ svnadmin upgrade /var/repos/svn Repository lock acquired. Please wait; upgrading the repository may take some time... Upgrade completed.
