Subversion Manager

Relocate server

svn sw --relocate svn+ssh://<USER>@<OLD_SERVER>/<COMPLETE_PATH> svn+ssh://<USER>@<NEW_SERVER>/<COMPLE_PATH>

Dump

To create a file with all the repo

svnadmin dump <SVN_REPO_NAME> > <SVN_DUMPFILE_NAME>

Load

To create a repo from a dump file

svnadmin create <SVN_REPO_NAME>
svnadmin load --ignore-uuid <SVN_DUMPFILE_NAME> < <SVN_REPO_NAME>

Filter

To create a repo file with a specific directory within the dump file

svndumpfilter include <PATH_TO_DESIRED_DIR> --drop-empty-revs --renumber-revs --preserve-revprops < <SVN_DUMPFILE_NAME> > <SVN_DESIRED_DIR_DUMPFILE_NAME>

However, the <SVN_DESIRED_DIR_DUMPFILE_NAME> keeps the directory structure of the old repo. If you want to delete it:

1) Edit <SVN_DESIRED_DIR_DUMPFILE_NAME> 2) Remove the top directory (e.g.):

Node-path: 2007-2008
Node-action: add
Node-kind: dir
Prop-content-length: 10
Content-length: 10

PROPS-END

3) Remove all the references to the top directory (e.g.)

sed -i 's/Node-path: 2005-2006/Node-path: /g' asignaturas_2005-2006_dump
sed -i 's/Node-copyfrom-path: 2005-2006/Node-copyfrom-path: /g' asignaturas_2005-2006_dump
