Re: Revisions with wrong chronologic order

I have a scenario where I would like to dump a small repository and
load it into a large one. Essentially I want to tack all the
revisions of the small repo on to the tail end of the large one with
their date being "at load time".

More specifically: I want the original large repository to keep
revision #s (so merge comments in log entries are coherent) but I
don't want to preserve revision #s from the small repository. I want
the -r DATE syntax to work, with the understanding that all revs from
the small repository now appear to be from the time of the load.

Is this possible with the svnadmin dump/load, svndumpfilter, or these
other scripts/tools that have been mentioned.

Thanks,
Kylo
