+<p>In 1.9.0, the <tt>svnfsfs load-index</tt> does not work as described
+in its documentation.  The following restrictions and workarounds apply:
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>The lines must be sorted by offset (first column).</li>
+  <li>The item number (5th column) must be given as hexadecimal.  However,
+      <tt>svnfsfs dump-index</tt> produces decimal numbers in that column.
+  </li>
+  <li>The first entry must refer to the first revision in the pack file.
+      This is a non-issue for unpacked revisions. A simple solution is
+      inserting a line for empty section of length 0:
