Lately, we’ve been having some issues with Subversion at work. We use SVN for all things that need versioning, mostly code but also documentation and deployed artefacts. Since we’re a fairly small company its not a huge repository (some 45000 total commits, approximatly 150 commits per day). Now, since begining of June some revisions has gone bad resulting in the following error on checkout or update:
Error REPORT request failed on ‘/repos/main/!svn/vcc/default’
Error REPORT of ‘/repos/main/!svn/vcc/default’: Could not read chunk delimeter:
Error Secure connection truncated
“svnadmin verify” outputted the following on examining the affected revision:
“insn 0 starts beyond the target view position”
After some Googling I found this write-up by Ian C. Blenke, describing the same problem as we see. After some discussion on svn-users and the excellent help by John Szakmeister, his fsfsverify tool now catches and fixes our first broken revision. He is still examining a second broken revision that currently breaks fsfsverify. But, since so far there hasn’t been any data corruption seen due to this bug I have high hopes for John being able to create a fix.
Update: John has now updated fsfsverify to also catch and fix our second broken revision.
So, if you’re seeing this problem, report it on svn-users, take a backup of your repository and try out John’s tool.

Time for an update on this weekend’s cheese choice.
- Some left over Valdeon, a Spanish blue cheese made from cow and goat’s milk. Still wrapped in chestnut leaves. Quite tasty and very smooth.
- A brie made from goat’s milk.
- A big piece of Taleggio, this is Eva’s favorite.
- Itche Bai, a French miced ewe and goat’s milk hard cheese. Excellent taste, lingers for a long time in the mouth after eaten. And we’re not alone in enjoying it (in Swedish).
For todays breakfast at Nöller I went for a ciabatta with Taleggio and cloudberry jam. For me a surprising but very tasty combination.

The daily stand-up meeting is simple to describe: the whole team meets every day for a quick status update. This short definition does not really tell you the subtle details that distinguish a good stand-up from a bad one.
