I might need some help with this. I'm having a real issue with merging existing repositories. The problem is that there doesn't seem to be any means of merging data while keeping the revision history. svnadmin import replaces the target repositories data, and svnadmin load can't arbitrarily apply the transaction entries to an existing repository. So it looks like all I can do is pick one repository to keep the history one by starting with it and then useing svn add to include the folders from the other projects. > In any case, I would highly recommend using the FsFs backing store for > Subversion.

It's taking a long time; the Webware tree took more than 2-1/2 hours to convert.
