you always can do incremental dumps if the dump file gets to large, or
you can try svnsync

RE: Subversion dump/load - author

[Tom Sorensen]

Hi –

Thank you for returning my email. To answer your question in the first 
sentence, yes, I am talking about the files within the  repository tree. Let me 
first explain that the current repository is
running on Linux. I access the repository through TortoiseSVN on my workstation 
using the link that connects me to the repository on the Linux machine such as, 
https://pathtorepository/

Below is an example of the TortoiseSVN repository display header.

FileExtension Revision Author   
Size Date
Accounting App   70   jjones
  01/01/2012
Budget App  135 bsmith  
   04/16/1996
InventoryApp  16   
tfoxworth  03/22/2001

When I create the dump file, I do so by directly logging into the Linux 
machine. From the command line, I do the following;
$svnadmin dump /app/svn/csvn/data/repositories/nameofrepository  –r  7500 > 
prod1.dump

The prod1.dump file is create and I have a sys admin copy it to the Windows 
machine. I create an empty repository on the Windows machine using subversion 
edge(collabnet) administration console. I then perform the svnadmin load 
command. (I don’t remember the exact syntax but I use force uuid). The load is 
successful and when I open the repository using TortoiseSVN on the Windows 
machine, all of the Author’s names, in all the folders and sub folders, in all 
revisions are the same, such as bsmith. Each time I do this, the Author’s name 
will change, but the effect is the same. All of the Author’s names in all of 
the directories and sub directories contain the same name. I’d like to keep the 
Author’s names as they are displayed in the repository before the move.

Note:

At one time I had used a repository that was on a dev box, one that I used for 
experimentation. I was able to load the entire repository without having to do 
the latest revision. Everything
displayed as expected. I tried to do a full dump of the production instance but 
the resulting dump file was so large that I ran out of room. I also tried to 
dump it to a zip file, but didn’t have
much luck.


Your problem is the dump file.  You only dumped a single revision of your 
repository rather than the entire history of the repository.  Your SVN client 
is just showing the last changed revision for each path which is probably now 
r1 and the author and date are whoever the author/date for r7500 of your 
original repository was.

If you want to see your history you need to load a full dump file.


Thank you – I’ll need to consider dumping the entire repo or use it the way it 
is.

When I talked about "repository files", I was referring to the back end 
files managed by the server (which are read by "svnadmin dump" and 
written by "svnadmin load").  You are talking about the front end 
display in TortoiseSVN, which is a separate product on top of Subversion.


Someone (not me) on the Subversion E-mail list might know the answer to 
your question, but you should probably ask on the TortoiseSVN E-mail 
list.  Good luck.

Are you asking about files within the repository directory tree on the server, 
e.g. revision files?  It is typical for them to be created by a server process 
and thus be owned by the user ID for that process.  I host my repositories on 
Linux using the "http://;<http://> access method, and all files within the 
repository have the user ID "apache".  The user IDs of the committing 
developers are stored within the repository data structures for each revision, 
so I can still determine who committed each revision.  If I loaded a dump file 
under Windows, I'd expect all revisions to be created with my user ID, not 
"apache".  (I don't have multiple accounts on my Windows machines, so I can't 
test this.)

If you were using the "file://" method for repository access then I 
can see how individual revisions would be owned by the committing developers, 
but this is not the recommended method of hosting a multi-user Subversion 
repository.  If you were not using the "file://" method, I'd tend 
to look at ownership of repository files by different user IDs as a bug, or at 
best a quirk - not the expected or "only correct" result.

If I misunderstood your question please list the files which have surprising 
ownership.
