I think there should be some sort of new Law Of The Web :
"Nobody RTFMs, even when they think they have- and used google!"
I was sure I'd seen this before on the list but couldn't find it.

A little tricky to work out how to use it but a lot easier than what I was
going to do - go through the dump file by hand (or maybe read the svnadmin
code first...
It certainly fits my definition of 'reasonably easy', anyway.

In order to get this answer searchable, what I did to
"remove a file from all revisions in repository" was:
Assuming I want to delete all files FOO.* and *.BAR from PROJECT1, where
they are located at $REPO_URL/PROJECT1/TRUNK
'svnadmin dump $REPO_URL > dumpfile'
'cat dumpfile | svndumpfilter exclude PROJECT1/TRUNK/FOO.* > tempdump'
'cat tempdump | svndumpfilter exclude PROJECT1/TRUNK/*.BAR > newdumpfile'

This isn't of course what I actually did so any corrections/additions are
welcome.

Thanks for the help, both problems solved.

Bill
