Good idea, but no. 1.7.0-beta1 doesn't support FSFS format 5: % svn cat ^/subversion/tags/1.7.0-beta1/subversion/libsvn_fs_fs/fs.h | grep SVN_FS_FS__FORMAT_NUMBER #define SVN_FS_FS__FORMAT_NUMBER 4 Neither do 1.7.0-rc* of course. So only 1.7.0-alpha* and 1.7-dev (ie, trunk or branch snapshots). IIRC format 5 is identical to 4 except for storage of revprops. It would be straightforward to export it without the revprops, and should be straightforward to write a script to convert the revprops storage to format 4 (supported by 1.6+); but I don't know that anyone ever wrote that script. >
