I have a new problem. Not a problem with the software I think this is sysadmin/user error.
I've read the docs and examples on how to use svnadmin dump and svndumpfilter. I'm familiar with dumps and loads. But I have a new task appointed to me. I have a directory structure that looks like this: svn://x.x.x.x/mainproject/branch/this_new_stuff Developers want to take /this_new_stuff as a dump, and create a new repo so it'll look like this: svn://x.x.x.x/this_new_stuff So far so good, I'll try svndumpfilter. So I do: svnadmin dump mainproject > mainproject.dump svndumpfilter include this_new_stuff > new_stuff_only.dmp svnadmin create new_stuff cd new_stuff svnadmin load . < ../new_stuff_only.dmp ... ... lots of messages that it is loading ... it's going good, I'm getting stoked it is working ... ... whew, it's a lot, almost done done. Now I then go to my PC and do a tortoise browse svn://x.x.x.x/this_new_stuff And it is EMPTY. I look at the logs on tortoise and I can sell all the developer logs with the check-ins I've looked into new_stuff_only.dmp and see a lot of stuff I've tried "dump-empty-revs and renumber-revs and preserve-revprops". The first 2 gives me that error inside the dump file that says something like "empty this is just for padding or something like that' Then I finally used "preserve-revprops" and I didn't get that error and the logs show up with the developer check-ins. Am I missing something? Maybe another step? All my googling just refers to svnadmin dump and svndumpfilter. I'm googling thins like "subversion dump folder into new repo" and I'm getting svndumpfilter as the way to do it. TIA! -- eric
