split a repository
Yo!
I'm just starting to use subversion. So please just point me to the answer - I
probably have missed it.
Working with CVS, I used to remove projects from the repository when they were
finished, and burn them to CD, so that the project documentation has now the
whole project, including all history. Also, I don't have to carry around the
dead weight of all the past projects in the repository (and on all backup
copies).
How do I do this in subversion?
<http://svnbook.red-bean.com/book/book.html#svn-ch-5-sect-3.2> talks about
merging repositories with the --parent-dir option. But the section does not
talk aobut doing the reverse :-(
cheers

Yep, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks loads.

Use svndumpfilter to dump the entire repository, then re-load the whole
thing without the project. It's discussed in chapter 5, I think.

assuming you are using separate repositories in conjunction with the
SVNParentPath config directive, just cp the whole repository onto the cd.
if you aren't, i dunno, but the svndumpfilter sounds promising.

Nope. Please correct if I am wrong: He wants to preserve all the
history, too, not just the final product. Only he does not want to
carry on the finished projetc in his repos forever. Export would just
give him a working copy without the .svn admin area (if one may
call this a working copy at all!!).

It sounds like what you want is 'svn export'?
