RE: svn repository issue

Maybe because you didn't provide the correct parameters... you need to
do:

sudo svnadmin load --parent-dir /abc/def /Path/To/Repository<
/svn/dumprepos/abc/def.dump

Here is the prototype

sudo svnadmin load --parent-dir ARG REPOSITORY <
/svn/dumprepos/abc/def.dump

Hi Ryan

i am not sure if i have done the correct way, but when i tried the
following:

sudo svnadmin load --parent-dir /svn/repos/abc/def <
/svn/dumprepos/abc/def.dump

svnadmin: Repository argument required

        is there anything i done wrong?

Give svnadmin the name of the file you want to dump to, e.g.:

sudo svnadmin dump /svn/repos/abd/def/ > /svn/dumprepos/abc/def.dump

i tried to run the following command:
sudo svnadmin load /svn/repos/abc/ < /svn/dumprepos/abc/hij.dump

but it gave me the following error:

<<< Started new transaction, based on original revision 1
svnadmin: File already exists: filesystem '/svn/repos/abc/db',
transaction '14-h', path 'branches'
    * adding path : branches

Ah, so both repositories contain the directory "branches" (and probably
the directories "tags" and "trunk" as well, yes?)

So you should be loading each repository into a subdirectory of the
destination repository instead. Look into the --parent-dir option to
svnadmin load. Note that you will need to "svn mkdir" the directory in
question before you can load anything into it with the --parent-dir
option.

i think i may redo the whole repository from scratch, is there any guide
so that i won't repeat the same mistake again?

You don't have to start over if you don't want to; just use the
--parent-dir option.
