You can only use svndumpfilter to split off parts of a repository, not to
merge them. Yes, you can dump two repositories and load them into a new one,
but this will not preserve the timeline behind the changes, i.e. the
different revisions are not sorted by date first.
Question to the developers: can someone point me to documentation of the
dumpfile-format? The reason is that I also need a way to merge two dumpfiles
and I'm willing to write a tool for that, if that's not too complicated.
BTW: Jan, can you turn off the stupid disclaimer and the HTML you are posting?
Such things are simply misplaced on a public mailinglist.
cheers
