How to compare two repositories?
Hi
How would I compare two repositories to get the differences?
I am upgrading a repository from 1.1.1 to 1.4.6 and I had some problems
with a file that was checked in with a control character as a name. I
did incremental dumps (we have ~52000 revisions), fixed the problem file
and loaded into a new repository.
That seemed to work well, but I want to compare the entire revision
history of the two repositories to make sure only the changes I wanted
are there.
I tried svnlook tree for both but the order of the files is different so
that comparison failed.
Should I just do a dump of all the revisions of both repositories and do
a diff, or is there a better way? The dump file is ~7GB so that will be
a long and painful diff.
Thanks

Worked like a charm! Thanks

You mean something like svn log svn://repo1 > oldlog.txt ?
That only gives me the log messages and not the actual files that were
added. I want to make sure the revisions are correct. Mostly I want to
make sure the incremental revisions were applied in the correct order
and I didn't bungle the changes.
I suppose I could write a script that dumped 'svnlook -r $commit#
changed /repository' and compare those. Does 'svnlook changed' give an
ordered list, or are the changes random?

Could you write the log (verbose) out to a textfile for each
repository and then perform a diff on those?
