Permanent removal from the repository
I have a repository that is now over 100GB and growing very fast.
Is it possible to permanently remove/split off a branch to migrate it
to a different physical server in order to reduce the amount of space
used on each server??

Dude,
You asked a multipart question. Didn't know if you were looking for an answer
for each. Sorry.

Dude.
The only mails I've ever seen that contain more +'s and -'s than this
one are patch submissions.

+1 on wrapper. -1 on removal. +1 removal after next rev. People might not be
as savvy about svnadmin hotcopy - I know I had no clue it existed. Might need
more input from the python people - they might be using it for something
special.

+1 - can't we reproduce this functionality using db4-utils?
> 3. Add 'svnadmin purge-dblogs'
+1 from me. I would much rather have this one than the other two - I have to
keep 'svnadmin --list-unused-dblogs|xargs -i rm {}' all the time. It's more
idiomatic to ask the admin wrapper to just clean the junk than to ask it where
it is. That's what the lowlevel tools are for, right?

Actually, now that we have 'svnadmin hotcopy', am I correct in
assuming that we can now:
1. Either destroy hot-backup.py, or make it just a wrapper around
'svnadmin hotcopy' ?
2. Remove 'svnadmin list-used-dblogs' and 'svnadmin
list-unused-dblogs' ?
3. Add 'svnadmin purge-dblogs' (for removing those logs it is safe
to remove) ?

Me, too.

Why don't we have an "svnadmin --clean-unused-logs" option?
Just curious.

Yes, that's one soltion, but but first off how the heck did your
repository get to 100GB? What are you putting in that thing? Are you
cleaning up unused logfiles? If not, that is a LOT of wasted space
there that you can clean up...
