Re: Subversion database corruption

If anyone is looking for a decent db-backed code revision system, take a look at monotone:

http://venge.net/monotone/index.html

There is a binary OS X build available.

Monotone is different from the standard CVS/Subversion/Perforce lineup because of the decoupled nature of repositories (there need not be a central server- each repository is useful without a server or can be one). Monotone's backend is SQLite.

I have been using monotone for four months now with minimal issues (and certainly no corruption) on a 40 MB repository. A backup consists of copying the SQLite database file to the backup medium.

For more information, browse the tutorial:
http://venge.net/monotone/docs/Tutorial.html#Tutorial

I had a similar problem with Berkeley DB eating my subversion repository. After speaking with the subversion developers about it, I switched to the FSFS backend on all my repositories and have not had another problem like it.


At least not a problem you know about. My boss pointed me to this page: <http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch05.html#svn-ch-5- sect-1.3>. It seems to suggest that the reason the FSFS backend doesn't get wedged by corrupted data is because it doesn't *detect* it. Sounds to me like the version-control equivalent of compiling with warnings turned off.


Or is that a mischaracterization?
