RE: svndumpfilter - dealing with copies from outside the filter path

I am having the same situation in a case of ours, but have concluded that I do indeed need to include all paths that ever was copied from! This makes the "copy-at-will" process in SVN a bit scary, so hopefully someone could enlighten us with a better solution?

Subject: svndumpfilter - dealing with copies from outside the filter path

I'm trying to merge a subtree of one repository (repo1:/trunk/mydir) to a directory in another repository (repo2:/trunk/foo/mydir).

From what I can tell, the process is:

svnadmin dump repo1 >dump
cat dump | svndumpfilter include /trunk/mydir >filtered.dump cat filtered.dump | svnadmin load repo2 --parent-dir /trunk/foo

The problem is that when I run svndumpfilter I'm getting an error regarding a svn copy where the source is outside of the path /trunk/foo (it's from /features/bar)

I read in the svn manual that this is a known issue, and that to solve it I need to "rethink my include/exclude" paths... but that sounds like I basically need to list every path prefix which is the source of a copy to /trunk/foo. Is that correct? Is there a way to trick svn into thinking this are just plain "adds" instead of copy? Basically, is there a way to not pollute repo2:/trunk/foo with a bunch of stuff I don't need? I'm sure I'm not talking about 1 or 2 extra paths here...

Thanks,
Aaron
