Migrating to svn

I don't know if someone can help me, but I'm trying to migrate from another SCM to svn.

I keep running into issues:

The original SCM was, well, extremely large. massive. So we're running a tool to extract data in it to the svn dump format. Fine (the dump format looks fine enough) but I can't seem to get it to LOAD.

Example:

Dump branch A into svn-brancha.dump (content is in branches/branchA)
Dump branch B into svn-branchb.dump (content is in branches/branchB)

svnadmin load branch A : no problem.

svnadmin load branch B : fails immediately, unable to create "branches"

Seriously? svn load won't load a dump file that references files that already exist? Or am I misunderstanding?

I can't make a single dump file that contains branchA _and_ branchB because it's too large: it runs out of memory.

I'm kind of stumped here: I can make dump files (using the scripts on tigris to migrate to svn) but I can't figure out how I can possibly make this work if I can't svnadmin load into a subdirectory of an existing directory.....

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Dana Lacoste
