When using the beta2 conversion tools, I was able to create a
dumpfile; however, the dumpfile  has several problems when loading.

The first failure was:
======================================
<<< Started new transaction, based on original revision 5
    * adding path : IDEFiles ...COPIED... done.
svnadmin: The root directory cannot be deleted
    * deleting path :  ...
======================================

We got around this problem by parsing the dumpfile through a perl script:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl
$counter = 0;
while( <> )
{
       if( /Node-path: *\n/ ... /Node-action: delete/ )
       {
               $counter++;
       }
       else
       {
               print;
       }
}

print STDERR "\n$counter occurrences filtered.\n";
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Then, the next error occurs:

======================================
<<< Started new transaction, based on original revision 4099
svnadmin: File not found: transaction '4098-1', path
'Installation/system/SBE6_32.DLL'
    * deleting path : Installation/system/SBE6_32.DLL ...
======================================

What is the best course of action? Should I just keep parsing the
dumpfile to get around these errors?

Thank you,
Jon
