Right, that describes using svnadmin dump and svnadmin load --parent-
dir. The revisions of one or the other repository will be renumbered,
and you will get first all the revisions from one repo, then all the
revisions from the other repo, so that now your revisions are no
longer in chronological order. Besides being a little odd, this also
means you cannot use the Subversion feature where it finds revisions
by date (e.g. "svn log -r{2007-04-02}").
The user might instead want to combine the two repositories in such a
way that the revisions remain in chronological order. If so, a script
like this is necessary:
http://www.svnforum.org/2017/viewtopic.php?p=4431
Note that I have not used that script and cannot say whether it works
correctly. There may be other scripts like that available elsewhere.
