RE: Removing empty revisions

Yes, I did, but it did not work Apparently these options apply to the cases where svndumpfilter itself filters a dump and generates empty revisions.. In my case I have just got a dump file, which obviously has been run through svndumpfilter previously, without these options, so that the empty revisions are already there in the dump file. If I run the svndumpfilter on this dumpfile, and includes a specific path, these options will remove the empty revisions created in this process, but not the empty revisions already exisiting in the dump.

I have got a dump file that contains about 1000 empty revisions ( with log message "This is an empty revision for padding").

I understand that this comes from dumping a repository and filtering it with dumpfilter. I have not got access to the old repository, but I would like to remove these empty revisions before loading the dump into the repository. I have tried to filter it through svndumpfilter with --drop-empty-revs, but this seems only to work if the dumpfilter is creating empty revisions, and not affecting already empty revisions. Anybody has an idea of how to get rid of these?

I think you need to use options --drop-empty-revs AND --renumber-revs.

Did you try what was suggested (see above)?

thanks,
