Yeah, I don't think you can specify multiple revision ranges like that. How about: svnadmin dump -r 1:15 sandbox > sandbox-dumpfile svnadmin dump -r 18:19 sandbox >> sandbox-dumpfile I'm not sure if that yields a legal dumpfile. If not, try: svnadmin dump -r 1:15 sandbox > sandbox-dumpfile svnadmin dump -r 18:19 sandbox > sandbox-dumpfile2 Then when it comes time to load, load the first file, then the second.
