Summary

Indexing fails on a SVN repository which has a large binary file.

Environment

• Use SVNKit for the subversion client

Steps to Reproduce

1. Add SVN repository to FishEye
   • Use file:// protocol to access the repository
2. Commit a large binary file to the repository
3. Start full indexing on the repository

Expected Results

Indexing should be completed as expected.

Actual Results

Indexing failed with the following exception.

2017-11-02 00:15:05,093 INFO  [IncrPing1 test_svn ] fisheye RepositoryEngine-startPause - Repository scanner paused. Error: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Can't overwrite cause with org.tmatesoft.svn.core.SVNException: svn: E160004: Can't read length line from file /home/svn/test/db/revs/0/1: Input length = 1

Notes

• Set Include/Exclude Paths on the problematic large binary file couldn't be the workaround for this problem
• The problem didn't occurred in case that http:// protocol was used to access the repository
• The problem didn't occurred in case that native SVN is used for the subversion client

Workaround

1. Use http:// protocol instead
2. Use native SVN instead
