You can use the tools 'svnadmin lstxns' and 'svnadmin rmtxns' for that. The 'lstxns' subcommand supports a '-r REV' argument, which will then skip all transactions that are based on a more recent revision than REV (in other words: you will only see transactions that have been started before REV). As the help text for 'svnadmin lstxns' says: "Transactions with base revisions much older than HEAD are likely to have been abandonded and are candidates to be removed." If you want, you can also use the various 'svnlook' subcommands to inspect the transaction. See this section of the book for some more background info: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.reposadmin.maint.html#svn.reposadmin.maint.diskspace.deadtxns -- Johan
