I'm delayed a bit with this. The reason is that this tool requires a full SVN repository dump to operate. I've started doing it the default way - svnsync, which would take weeks. I've tried importing the dumps from http://svn-dump.apache.org/ , but after some long hours of downloading and extracting I found out that the warning on the page regarding the repository size is out of date. Unexpanded it takes ~230 GB ( + ~75 for temporary extraction ) rather than 65 as advertised. I don't have that kind of disk space around unfortunately. I'll try and find an alternative somehow, but it's going to take a bit more. Robert
