Are there docs on svndumpfilter somewhere (besides 'svndumpfilter
help')? I can't seem to get it to work.
So if I want to remove a file called temp.txt from a dump file called
svn_dump, what's wrong with this command?
cat svn_dump | svndumpfilter exclude temp.txt > svn_dump_new
When I run this, all I get is a message saying "Dropped 0 revisions, 0
nodes." It's not removing anything. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
