Thanks Ryan,
now, I was able to dump the repository and load it on our new hardware.
i´ll will do some test with 1.7 after the successful migration of our
productive system to the new hardware and I´ll keep you updated if
the the problem still occurs with 1.7.

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.
That sounds like a bug in Subversion... if the file could be
committed, then we should be able to dump or otherwise deal with it,
even if the name is unusual. I'd recommend you try the latest
version of Subversion 1.6.x and see if the problem persists. You
could also try 1.7.0 but you may want to wait on upgrading important
systems to that version due to other issues you can read about on
the mailing list.
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.
The failure is in svnadmin dump, so the next svndumpfilter command
isn't even getting run; it's failing before that.
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.
You got it mostly right:
$ svnadmin help dump | head -n 1
dump: usage: svnadmin dump REPOS_PATH [-r LOWER[:UPPER] [--
incremental]]
You just forgot the "-r" switch before your revision range.
svnadmin dump REPO -r 0:8233 > REPO.dump
svnadmin dump REPO -r 8234:HEAD --incremental >> REPO.dump
If you don't plan to filter the dump, you can save quite a lot of
space by using deltas:
svnadmin dump REPO -r 0:8233 --deltas > REPO.dump
svnadmin dump REPO -r 8234:HEAD --deltas --incremental >> REPO.dump
