You have a "--deltas" dump which svndumpfilter does not support, however a non-deltas dump would be *significantly* larger. > Do you know any faster way to load the dump file or to filter out > some projects/revisions so I can speed up the process? You might try keeping the dumpfile and the new repo on different physical disks. 45GB shouldn't take 15 days. I've loaded 300GB+ dump files in under a day on 3 year old low end server hardware...
