transform-prop is for transforming versioned properties; Node-path is not a versioned property; it is an internal detail of the dumpfile format that you don't need to concern yourself with. I suggest you read the section "Moving things around" under "Some tips" in the svndumptool readme: http://svn.borg.ch/svndumptool/0.6.1/README.txt On Aug 10, 2011, at 02:40, Peter Pommelich wrote: > I just used perl for editing the dump file (perl -e "s/^Node-path: > trunk\/meta\//Node-path: /g;" -pi.bak <filename>) and it just worked. > > I hope that I do not need to nbother you again with that :-) Ok... But using perl is no better than using sed IMHO. perl, like sed, is not designed to deal with dumpfiles; svndumptool is, and knows details of the format that you might not.
