Like Stephen Connolly suggested a week ago: I think you should take a look at svndumptool: http://svn.borg.ch/svndumptool/ I've never used it myself, but in the README.txt file, there is mention of a subcommand "split": [[[ Split ----- Splits a dump file into multiple smaller dump files. svndumptool.py split inputfile [startrev endrev filename]... options: --version show program's version number and exit -h, --help show this help message and exit Known bugs: * None ]]] HTH -- Johan
