Any ideas / pointers would be appreciated. That message actually comes from the underlying svn diff itself. To me it looks like a problem with the underlying fsfs on the server: http://www.szakmeister.net/fsfsverify/ hg convert runs into the same problem, btw. It would be worthwhile to try svnsync and clone the synced repo, but it seems berlios does not support the necessary replay command. Time to talk to them! Michael
