Which version of the PDF manual? There are 4 different ones.

If by "project" you mean "path", yes. Use svndumpfilter. See
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.2/svn.reposadmin.maint.html#svn.reposadmin.maint.tk.svndumpfilter
I have no idea which page of the PDF manual you're referring to this
is found on, but I'll bet it's not too far from where you're reading
about svnadmin dump/load.

Re: SVN Dump & Lo
Posted by Res Pons <po...@hotmail.com>.
Thanks Andy. I was only doing it that way for 2 reasons:
1. I only need 1 project which is fairly new from the old repo, whereas the
old repo is few years old and has about 6 other projects which we have no
use for.
2. Disk space, the old repo is about 4.5 GB and a dump file is even bigger.
But I like your advice, so I will do a dump of the whole thing, you never
know when or what I will need out of it later.
Thanks again

Yes, you probably could, but why skip over making an actual dumpfile
(and then a filtered one) which you could use multiple times for
backup, testing, making sure everything is the way you expect, etc.?
