Hi –
Thank you for returning my email. To answer your question in the first
sentence, yes, I am talking about the files within the repository tree. Let me
first explain that the current repository is
running on Linux. I access the repository through TortoiseSVN on my workstation
using the link that connects me to the repository on the Linux machine such as,
https://pathtorepository/
Below is an example of the TortoiseSVN repository display header.

When I create the dump file, I do so by directly logging into the Linux
machine. From the command line, I do the following;
$svnadmin dump /app/svn/csvn/data/repositories/nameofrepository –r 7500 >
prod1.dump
The prod1.dump file is create and I have a sys admin copy it to the Windows
machine. I create an empty repository on the Windows machine using subversion
edge(collabnet) administration console. I then perform the svnadmin load
command. (I don’t remember the exact syntax but I use force uuid). The load is
successful and when I open the repository using TortoiseSVN on the Windows
machine, all of the Author’s names, in all the folders and sub folders, in all
revisions are the same, such as bsmith. Each time I do this, the Author’s name
will change, but the effect is the same. All of the Author’s names in all of
the directories and sub directories contain the same name. I’d like to keep the
Author’s names as they are displayed in the repository before the move.
Note:
At one time I had used a repository that was on a dev box, one that I used for
experimentation. I was able to load the entire repository without having to do
the latest revision. Everything
displayed as expected. I tried to do a full dump of the production instance but
the resulting dump file was so large that I ran out of room. I also tried to
dump it to a zip file, but didn’t have
much luck.
Your problem is the dump file. You only dumped a single revision of your
repository rather than the entire history of the repository. Your SVN client
is just showing the last changed revision for each path which is probably now
r1 and the author and date are whoever the author/date for r7500 of your
original repository was.
If you want to see your history you need to load a full dump file.
Thank you – I’ll need to consider dumping the entire repo or use it the way it
is.
Tom
