svndumpfilter fails extracting a directory

[Christoph Bartoschek <ba...@or.uni-bonn.de>]

Hi,

I try to test splitting a repository of several projects into several 
different repositories.  However splitting fails:

held@maximator:~/vlsi> 
cat /tmp/fast_tdl.dump.2 | svndumpfilter include /trunk/tcl > 
fast_tdl.tcl.dump

Including prefixes:
   '/trunk/tcl'

Revision 0 committed as 0.
Revision 1 committed as 1.
Revision 2 committed as 2.
Revision 3 committed as 3.
Revision 4 committed as 4.
Revision 5 committed as 5.
Revision 6 committed as 6.
Revision 7 committed as 7.
Revision 8 committed as 8.
Revision 9 committed as 9.
Revision 10 committed as 10.
Revision 11 committed as 11.
Revision 12 committed as 12.
Revision 13 committed as 13.
svndumpfilter: Invalid copy source path '/trunk/fix_clocks.tcl'
held@maximator:~/vlsi>


Does anyone know what might fail?

I remember that we had some problems with revision 13.  Maybe someone sees 
from the log, what might be wrong:
Added app-parms.

I have exactly the same problem.
See my attached message.
(Unfortunately, nobody has replied yet)

The problem is that svndumpfilter refuses to filter
repository paths that contain files which have a
history which originates somewehere else.

What I do not understand is: I thought it is absolutely
normal in svn that files are prepared in mod branches
and then get merged *with history* into the trunk.
So, if that is standard procedure, svndumpfilter will
always refuse to filter out just the trunk.
