complete lost .

For svn, you should upload your zipped/gzipped dump file, for trac – project folder archive.

I’m getting the same problem, I’ve tried uploading my svn gz file of about 4.7MB, and when it finishes uploading, It tells me nothing and there are no files in my repository. My gz file contains only the repository dump file.

I was able to get it working by using gzip instead of tar -cz

Is there a limit on the size of the SVN dump file that can be uploaded via TRAC? I am having troubles of importing an SVN delta dump which is < 5MB after gzipping it: browser reports ‘connection terminated’. After failed dump attempts, the repository contains a varying number of entries : some attemps have resulted only first few entries to appear, some roughly half.

I have locally tried to load this particular dump and it works – hence, I believe the file is not corrupted.
