Re: copy multiple folders from one repository to another repository at server using subversion
Hi, Thanks for your detailed explanation. I've already tried what you suggested but something went wrong in that process. The actual scenario is: I have created 'allProj' repository and it is operating since 2013. *allProj *contains 120 folders. Out of 120 projects currently 20 projects are required. So I'm trying to create another repository 'reqProj' which contains those 20 projects out of 120 projects. I've tried *dump - filter - load *method already. So I'm able to load only 18 projects Out of 20 projects (2 projects were missing even though I tried to load all 20 projects dump). What exactly I tried is: *dump: *svnadmin dump file:///var/lib/svn/allProj allProj.dump cat allProj.dump | svndumpfilter include Projects/projectB Projects/projectD Projects/projectE reqProj.dump svnadmin create file:///var/lib/svn/reqProj svnadmin load fil:///var/lib/svn/reqProj reqProj.dump Everything it is showing is fine but still I'm not gettting all the folders. Out of 20 projects I'm getting 18 projects. Is there any alternative method or am I doing wrong ...? I've searched a lot on this topic and I found nothing on how to move multiple folders from one repository to another repository

Roughly speaking, `svnadmin dump` itself can't take a dump of a single project in a repository. With `svnadmin dump` you can specify revision range to dump, but not paths to dump[1]. Using `svnadmin dump` you can generate a dump of the whole repository and then use `svndumpfilter` tool[2] to filter out everything except projectB, projectD and projectE, then load the filtered dump to a new clean repository using `svnadmin load`. The process is described in SVNBook | Filtering Repository History[3]. Moveover, official Subversion FAQ has an entry about this task[4]. I can also advise reading this post at StackOverflow[5].

Thanks for your reply. Is there any other alternatives rather than upgrading subversion...?

Version 1.4 is old, actually ancient and if there was a bug in it that causes your issue, it will never be fixed. There have been so many improvements in 1.5.X, 1.6.X, 1.7.X, and 1.8.X that you really, really should upgrade. Even if you only go to 1.7.X which is what is supported in CentOS 6 you will get much better results, but if you are going to upgrade anyway, find an external repo that is hosting 1.8.X for CentOS 6.X and upgrade all the way to 1.8.11.

As a previous response suggested, upgrade your Subversion first, and then try the dump/filter/load. Eric.

copy multiple folders from one repository to another repository at server using subversion
Hi all, I've been struggling with this issue for the past two weeks. I've created a repository named as *allProj *at server. The structure of *allProj* is as follows: allProj - Projects - projectA - projectB - projectC - projectD - projectE Now I want to create another repository *reqProj *at the same server which includes *multiple projects *from *allProj *along with access controls and revision history. Expected *reqProj* structure is: reqProj - projectB - projectD - projectE I've searched a lot on this topic but still I'm unable to find solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- software details: subversion version is 1.4 server OS is cenOS 6.4
