Migrate a Subversion Sub Repository

Migrate SVN

Description:

Instructions to migrate a sub repository to it's own repository.

Get a copy of the repo:

    cp -r me@myserver:/usr/local/data/svn/myrepo .

Dump it:

svnadmin dump --quiet myrepo > myrepo.DUMP

Filter the hunk you want:

cat myrepo.DUMP | svndumpfilter include MySubProject > MySubProject.DUMP|more

copy it to the new server (omit this if doing it on the new server):

scp MySubProject.DUMP robrien@myotherserver:~/

Logon:

 ssh robrien@myotherserver

Create a new repo:

 sudo ./bin/svnadmin create /usr/local/repos/MySubProject
 sudo chown -R www:www /usr/local/repos/

Load the repo:

    sudo svnadmin load --quiet /usr/local/repos/MySubProject < /usr/home/robrien/MySubProject.DUMP

Done.
