svndumptool and svn:externals

[MOKRANI Rachid <ra...@ifpen.fr>]

Hi,

I moved my SVN server, and now I need to change our svn:externals path.

I saw that svndumptool can help me to do that, but I don't know exactly the syntax command to run.


My old SVN server is:
http://my_old_server/

I can access to my SVN project with the URL : http://my_old_server/R11/MY_PROJECT


Name Value
svn:externals	AA http://my_old_server/R11/MY_PROJECT/AA
		BB http://my_old_server/R11/MY_PROJECT/BB



  
New server :
https://my_new_server/
Now I can access to my SVN project with the URL : http://my_new_server/svn/MY_PROJECT

Need to change my svn:externals path to:
Name Value svn:externals	AA http://my_new_server/svn/MY_PROJECT/AA
				BB http://my_new_server/svn/MY_PROJECT/BB





Is the following command is correct ? Or what is exactly the good syntax.

svndumptool.py transform-prop svn:externals '^(\S+) http://my_old_server/R11(\S+)' '^\1 https://my_new_server/svn/\2'  SVN.dump   SVN_ext.dump

and/or 

svndumptool.py transform-prop svn:externals "(\S*) (|-r ?\d* ?)http://my_old_server/R11(/\S*)" "\2\3 \1"   SVN.dump   SVN_ext.dump

other ?



Many thanks in advance for any help.
Regards.

If you have externals that refer to your own repository by its absolute URL, then I recommend you switch those to the "new" (as of Subversion 1.5) relative URL externals syntax so that you never have to do this again even if you change repository locations again in the future.
