Re: svnsync'ing part of a repository

I was sort of afraid of using the svnadmin stuff because it seems
that you have to do some futzing around with the dump files if the
repos are not to be exactly the same, as is the case here. Plus
there's the whole thing about needing access to the actual repository
file.

In any case, some more googling led me to the following script:

        http://blog.yanime.org/articles/2006/05/15/svn2svn

It's very brute force, but it works: wou give it source and
destination URLs and (optionally) a revision range, and for every
revision, it exports that revision, applies the diff to the previous
revision, and commits that to the destination repository. Takes
forever, but it did the job!

Thanks all.

Bobby
