If the old repository root is svn://x.x.x.x/mainproject and the stuff you want to include in the dump is in branch/this_new_stuff in the old repository, then you need to run: svnadmin dump mainproject > mainproject.dump svndumpfilter include branch/this_new_stuff < mainproject.dump > new_stuff_only.dmp If branch/this_new_stuff was ever elsewhere in the repository (for example, if it was at some point in the past moved from somewhere/else/in/the/repo), then you need to include that location too.
