Migrating multiple CVS repositories into one SVN repository
Hi,
I'm trying to migrate two CVS repositories into one SVN repository
using the cvs2svn utility.
I've migrated the first one without any problem. This has created an
SVN repository (/source/new_repository/).
When I try to migrate the second CVS repository into the same SVN
repository, I get the error below.
Any suggestion?
Also the cvs2svn has migrated also the CVSROOT folder so I wanted to
delete it using the Eclipse SVN plugin, but when I try to do it I get
the following error: "Can't create directory '/source/new_repository/
db/transactions/1069-2.txn': Permission denied".
Any idea?
Thank you,
G.

[cvs2svn questions should really go to the cvs2svn mailing list at

This is covered in the several cvs2svn FAQ entries [1]. The fact that
you are starting with two separate CVS repositories is actually not
interesting to cvs2svn; you can still convert both of them (as separate
projects) in a single run of cvs2svn.
If you need to convert them at different times for some business reason,
then you need to convert the second one to a --dumpfile and then
"svnadmin load" it with the --parent-dir option.

Two suggestions:
1) Touch the CVS files so that both repositories look like a single
one. Administration files of CVS (CVS/*) are really simple, this
should be no problem.
I converted in the past a RCS based repository into a CVS one by
using such tricks and converted this via cvs2svn into a Subversion
repository.
2) Create two separate Subversion repositories and merge both using
svnadmin dump/load together with svndumpfilter. See
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn-book.html#svn.reposadmin.maint.tk.svndumpfilter
Nevertheless svndumpfilter is probably only useful to split
repositories, not for merging.
I suggest solution 1)
