Can't dump a subtree using svnrdump
Hi all, I would like to dump one or maybe two subtrees of the ASF repo and whatever I feed to svnrdump I always get the contents of unrelated subtrees as well. If I don't provide a revision range I get thew complete repo, if I provide a range where my subtrees have changed, I get all the revisions of unrelated subtrees in between as well. In the documentation and such I can read that svnrdump does support subtrees, so there must be something wrong ho I call it. What I want is the following URL: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/log4cxx Which was originally added as the following: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/logging/log4cxx What I've tried so far: svnrdump.exe dump https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/log4cxx svnrdump.exe dump https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/logging/log4cxx svnrdump.exe dump https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/logging/log4cxx -r 307452:1554780 svnrdump.exe dump https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/log4cxx -r 1554780:HEAD But all of those always dump revisions not related to my subtrees. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

What am I doing wrong? Thanks! I don't think you are doing anything wrong. Any revision in a repository applies to each path that exists at that revision and the only way to ensure a 100% compatible dump with matching revision numbers is to produce empty revisions for revisions that don't have relevant paths. So yes, you will see many more revisions than just your own project... but if filtered correctly not the changes in those revisions. Once you have dumps you can use tools like 'svndumpfilter' to filter out dummy/stub revisions, fixing things like copies and merges. I just used this to import the Serf repository into https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/serf, while filtering a thousand stub revisions. Bert

How stupid, I've looked at those revisions, but didn't recognize they don't contain any data or paths or such... :-/ Thanks!
