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
