Re: modify dump

I think the Checksum is per file, correct?  How many copies of that file do you have in the repository?  If only a few, it might not be difficult to recompute the hashes per file.

Also some people mentioned that you can just zero out or delete the Checksum.  

Also people mentioned that the length of the file changes with your modifications.  Perhaps you can replace the sensitive data with data of the same size?  Add some comments or something.

And lastly, how sensitive is the data? If its a pasword or something, perhaps its easier to just change the pasword?

Yes - But how do I update the checksum? Doing this on a 3.5Gb-File isn't that 
easy...

It's sensible data that should not get visible through the history of the 
file.

1635 different revisions are in the repository :D
Too much to do it manually.

that would be easier, yes

yep, its a password.
the problem is that we can't change it ourselves :(
But I will try to request a new one - I thought removing it from the 
svn-history is a simpler job...


thanks!
