Doros Agathangelou commented on SVN-516:
----------------------------------------
I would like to draw the attention of the community to a tool we developed that
solves the problem of obliterating files from svn repositories. The tool is
called [Subdivision|http://subdi.vision] and while being a commercial offering,
it is free for small repositories and open source projects.
Subdivision starts off by analyzing the repository to identify the moves and
copies of the repository's files and folder. As the user makes the selection of
which files to obliterate, Subdivision will select aditional files that have to
be obliterated (or preserved) depending on the move and copy history. This
removes all the problems that might occur when using svndumpfilter such as the
"Invalid copy source path" error.
In addition to the obliterate functionality, Subdivision can split a repository
in two parts while guaranteeing that all files will make it in at least one of
the resulting repositories, as well as extract files files into a new
repository.
