Re: "svnadmin load" a huge file
Split the dumpfile to smaller dumpfiles or try a newer version of svnadmin.

Re: "svnadmin load" a huge file
I migrated a large CVS repository (25-50 GB) to SVN years ago on SVN 1.3. Our repo had many sections (projects) within it. We had to migrate each project independently so that it's team could coordinate when they migrated to SVN. As such, I dumped each project when ready and then svnadmin loaded each dump into it's own path/root (so as not to overwrite anything previously loaded and unrelated to this project's import). So, you can do it by controlling which path/portion of CVS you use cvs2vn to create the dump file from.

The CVS repository in question (with the size 54M with 17751 files) is exactly one project. It's the history of a geographical DNS zone for more than 10 years. -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN sip:suda...@sibptus.tomsk.ru

Google is your friend: svndumptool You moght need to append a .py Also if this is a _top post_ it's three phone what done it...
