Sure. Posted below are a couple of revisions. I actually worked around
this problem by writing a perl script that uses SVN::Dumpfile to read and
write each revision but ignoring revisions with the svn:log property of
"This is an empty revision for padding." The fail case here would be if a
developer commited a revision with that log message, but shame on them.
== Perl script ==
#!/usr/bin/perl
use SVN::Dumpfile;
use strict;
my $olddf = SVN::Dumpfile->open(file => "original.dmp");
my $newdf = $olddf->copy->create(file => "new.dump");
while ( my $node = $olddf->read_node ) {
if ($node->property('svn:log') ne 'This is an empty revision for
padding.') {
$newdf->write_node($node);
}
}
