question on making a new module from a subdirectory of an existing one
Is it possible to make part of an existing module into a completely
independent module while preserving history?
For instance, say I have one repository: /usr/local/pim. 'pim' has the
sub directories /usr/local/pim/calendar and /usr/local/pim/clock. Is
there a way to create /usr/local/calendar and /usr/local/clock as new,
independent modules (with their own global revision numbers), while
preserving history created from when these source trees were contained
within /usr/local/pim?

Yes, basically, what I meant was break up one repository into separate
repositories.

Excellent. Thank you! That seems like exactly what I want.

I'm running into a problem with this, and I wonder if there's already
a bug filed. I wasn't able to find a bug report, but it seems like
it's been mentioned before on the dev mailing list.
The error I'm encountering looks like this when I attempt to use
svndumpfilter on a repository dump. First, I dump the repository:
----------------------8<----------------------
$ svnadmin dump /home/adamm/svn/my_root > dumpfile
* Dumped revision 1.
...
* Dumped revision 1731.
---------------------->8----------------------
Then I try to filter the dumpfile:
----------------------8<----------------------
$ cat dumpfile | svndumpfilter include \
> trunk/personal/code/c++/quizmo \
> --drop-empty-revs --renumber-revs > quizmo.dump
Including (and dropping empty revisions for) prefixes:
'/trunk/personal/code/c++/quizmo'
Revision 0 committed as 0.
Revision 1 skipped.
Revision 2 skipped.
...
Revision 1717 skipped.
svn: Invalid copy source path '/trunk/personal/code/c++/quizbot'
---------------------->8----------------------
(Note: the quizbot directory was renamed to quizmo)
This problem was mentioned here (repro steps included):
http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2004-11/1094.shtml
and briefly here, though this post might not be as relevant:
http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2004-11/0805.shtml
Is there a fix for this, or do you have any idea if there is a way for
me to manually edit the dumpfile and somehow work around this bug?

I'm not sure what you mean by "independent modules"... do you mean,
"put the projects into separate repositories"?
If so, then yes, you can 'svnadmin dump' the repository, then use
'svndumpfilter' and 'svnadmin load' to load the sub-project's
histories into independent repositories. See chapter 5 in the book.
