For some time now I’m working on a C++ project, committing my changes to my common C++ repository as a subdirectory. Today I had the idea to have a own SVN repository for this project. Doing some Google search showed me the way ..
Imagine there is a repository which looks like the following:
/var/svn-repos/cpp
* dir1
* dir2
and dir2 should now be migrated to a new, own repository like
/var/svn-repos/Project1
This is quite easy using svnadmin. First of all we create the new repository:
svnadmin create –fs-type fsfs /var/svn-repos/Project1
Now the moving. First dumping then reloading.
Dump of the old repository data:
svnadmin dump /var/svn-repos/cpp/ | svndumpfilter include \
–drop-empty-revs –renumber-revs /dir2 > Project1.svndump
svnadmin is the main administration tool for SVN repositories. Option dump dumps out the complete content of the repository, including the history, using a specific dump-format. svndumpfilter filters the dump stream regarding to the specified criterias. Using option include drops out everything which was not defined from the dump stream – only requested data gets into the dump file. With option –drop-empty-revs every dropped and therefor empty revisions are ignored, –renumber-revs renumbers all revisions which are still dumped out.
Finally the dump must be loaded into the new repository using svnadmin again:
svnadmin load /var/svn-repos/Project1 < Project1.svndump
Finished.

Sehr hilfreich, vielen Dank. Die Optionen bei svndumpfilter mussten bei mir mit zwei “–” versehen werden:
svndumpfilter include -–drop-empty-revs -–renumber-revs …
Außerdem wird der komplette Pfad innerhalb des Repositories ins Dump übernommen (z.B. “/trunk/dir1/datei.cpp” und ich musste noch “/trunk” von hand anlegen, sonst kam es zu einer Fehlermeldung bei “svadmin load …”
svn mkdir /path/to/new/repo/trunk
bzw.
svn mkdir https://svn.new.repo.url/trunk
Praktisch wäre es, wenn man den Pfad gleich im Dumpfile los würde. Aber svndumpfilter bietet hier wohl keine Option. Hat jemand eine Idee dazu?
