Oops, yeah that was a typo.

Yes, I read that too. So, what I am not understanding is the
svndumpfilter gotcha here.
original_dump:
Node-path: projectA/subcon/component3
So, with svndumpfilter I use "projectA/subcon/component3", but the first
couple of lines from svndumpfilter are:
Excluding prefixes:
'/projectA/subcon/component3'
If you notice, svndumpfilter is placing a leading '/' to the prefix path
I am using. So, does this mean that I have to replace all of my
Node-path's to have the leading '/'? Does not make sense that I have to
do that.
