I hope I don't get into the same situation, I am at this moment syncing
version 827 out of 6145, and started almost two hours ago.
I have been able to filter out the desired project by using this script:
http://www.dehora.net/journal/2007/04/patched_svndumpfilter2.html
Which resulted in a dump file containing the intended project but also tons
of empty revisions which I have been unable to filter out.
The svndumpfilter command seems useless: it can't extract a project from a
larger repository unless very specific conditions (only present in toy
projects) are met; it can't remove empty revisions and renumber them unless
the revisions are becoming empty as a result of the current filtering, so
there is no way to clean up an existing repository.
So I'm syncing the 6145 revisions, most of which are empty but nonetheless
take about 10 seconds each... :-/
