svndumpfilter exclude folder with deleted folders

[Yael Lorenzo <ya...@gmail.com>]

Hello

I would like to know if the subject situation is normal.

Moment 1 (folder structure)
Etudes
>tags
>>copytrunk
>>>src
>>>example

svndumpfilter exclude /Etudes/tags/copytrunk < dump > filter

The log shows 3 dropped nodes: copytrunk, copytrunk/src and
copytrunk/example

Moment 2 (I deleted example)
Etudes
>tags
>>copytrunk
>>>src

svndumpfilter exclude /Etudes/tags/copytrunk < dump > filter

The log shows that copy trunk is still there

Conclusion: if you have a deleted subfolder it is not possible to exclude
the folder?

Thank you!

Regards, Yael

Of cause it does - you said that you deleted "example". Why do you 
expect that the parent folder (copytrunk) would not be there anymore? Or 
do you have a typo here?

Maybe you could attach a repro script presenting the exact commands you 
perform to illustrate your question/issue?
