Migrating repo data and changing structure.

Hi

I hope you can help.

I am doing 2 things:

1. Migrating my repo from a local machine to a remote host.

2. Trying to fragment my single large repo into smaller repos.

So, my original repo is:

/usr/local/svn/repos

It contains a bunch of projects, here are some examples, with their
structure:

repos
~   |
~   |_www.hifive.com
~   |   |_ trunk
~   |   |   |_ *some files*
~   |   |
~   |   |_ tags
~   |   |   |_ 010207.1.0
~   |   |   |  |_ *some files folders representing trunk at point x*
~   |   |   |_ 050608.1.1
~   |   |      |_ *some files folders representing trunk at point x*
~   |   |
~   |   |_ branches
~   |       |_*some files folders representing trunk at point x*
~   |
~   |_www.repoman.com
~      |_ trunk
~      |   |_ *some files*
~      |
~      |_ tags
~      |   |_ 050603.1.0
~      |   |  |_ *some files folders representing trunk at point x*
~      |   |_ 010401.1.2
~      |   |   |_ *some files folders representing trunk at point x*
~      |   |_ 030308.7.3
~      |   |  |_ *some files folders representing trunk at point x*
~      |   |_ 040109.0.1
~      |      |_ *some files folders representing trunk at point x*
~      |
~      |_ branches
~          |_*some files folders representing trunk at point x*

If I checkout www.repoman.com, I get the structure highlighted above. If
however I dump repos and then run svndumpfilter to only include
www.repoman.com, all I see is its initial commit to repos, the version
of files in trunk, tags and branches are essentially missing. Why?

These are the commands I have been using:

$: svnadmin dump /usr/local/svn/repos -q -r 0:HEAD > repos.dumpfile

This gets a huge dump of repos. To get www.highfive.com I run:

$: svndumpfilter include www.highfive.com < repos.dumpfile >
www.highfive.com.dumpfile

I then import it into a new repos made especially for www.highfive.com
rather than lump it again into a single repos as it was originally:

$: svnadmin create www.highfive.com

$: svnadmin load www.highfive.com < www.highfive.com.dumpfile

When I check the new www.highfive.com repo, sure enough most of the data
is missing.
