Re: File size limit exceeded when loading a dump file

RE: Why not dump subdirectories of your repository so that you get smaller dump files? That's a great idea. I didn't think of it because the docs seem to indicate that the svnadmin dump command worked at the repository level rather than being able to specify a sub-folder to export. Would the commands for it be something like: svnadmin dump /svn/repo1/project1/trunk > project1.dump svnadmin dump /svn/repo1/project1/tags/r1.0.0 > project1-1.0.0.dump And then to reload: svnadmin load /svn/repo1/project1/trunk < project1.dump svnadmin load /svn/repo1/project1/tags/r1.0.0 < project1-1.0.0.dump Is that correct?

Or: what unofficial Subversion binary did you install? As far as I know, all the unofficial binaries available at the download page use APR 0.9. Also, Subversion still ships with APR 0.9. If you want APR 1.2, you probably need to build it yourself. > 2.
