Hi,
we are using subversion 1.6.11 (r934486) with FSFS database on CentOS and i get the following error while using svnadmin dump:

* Dumped revision 8233.
svnadmin: File not found: revision 8234, path

Some times ago, we committed a file with an bad filename. I think we used a blank or other special characters. Afterwards we deleted this file so we created exactly one revision with this bad file. Now, we are not able to dump this Repository because we get an "file not found!" error for that revision while dumping.

As I read in the FAQ:
http:subversion.apache.org/faq.html#removal
It´s planned to delete revisions out of a repository but still not implemented and I have to pipe my dumpfile into the svndumpfilter

So I tried:
svnadmin dump REPO/ | svndumpfilter exclude revision 8234 > exclude.dump
but still get

svnadmin: File not found: revision 8234, path.....

As i´m not used to the svndumpfilter I tried different syntax (just 8234, the path ) all with the same failure. Unfortunately the man page is not very helpful.

After this I tried:

svnadmin dump REPO/ 0:8233 > inkr.dump

to append the rest with a incremental dump using  >>.
But I´m wondering cause get the same failure:
....
* Dumped revision 8233.
svnadmin: File not found: revision 8234, path '/PATH'

Does anybody know how to dump a repository excluding exactly one revision or perhaps anybody has an other idea solving this problem.

Thanks,
Stefan
