Hello,
a new open source tool for reorganizing Subversion repositories
was released. It is optimized to extract parts of a large
repository to form a new smaller one.
It is similar in purpose to svndumpfilter (standard SVN tool)
and Simon Tatham's svndumpfilter2 (*). However it is has less
limitations. In addition it has the ability to drop old revisions
before a given revision number.
For more details see:
https://github.com/TNG/svnfiltereddump/wiki/Formated-Man-Page
You may get svnfiltereddump via pip (a Python package installer):
sudo pip install svnfiltereddump
For those lacking Internet access or root permissions there is
also a manual installation procedure - again see the man page
for details.
The software is considered beta at the moment - mostly because
we lack tests on large source repositories. If you can report
practical real-life experience on large repositories
(e.g. >25GB, >100000 revisions) that would be highly welcome
- even if it's just "worked".
Regards
Harald Wilhelmi
