Migrating files between two repositories without admin rights and
preserving history
Hello to all,
I want to copy files between two repositories, to which I have access as a regular user but no as an admin, so I face the following issues:
* Need to preserve the history (so export / import doesn't work)
* Don't have admin rights to svnadmin is out of the questions
* I don't want to sync the whole repository, just one directory inside (http://repo1/trunk/source/dir1 to http://repo2/trunk/source/dir1)
I saw in CPAN a module that does something similar called SVN::Pusher, but before trying something like that I wonder if someone can recommend another approach.
Thanks in advance,
--Jose

You misunderstood.
svndumpfilter does not work with format 3 dumpfiles, produced by
svnrdump and by 'svnadmin dump --deltas'. Any version of svn can
produce a format-2 dumpfile via 'svnadmin dump' without --deltas.

I don't think so
anyways, I just read elsethread that dumpfilter does not work with the
dump format version that 1.7 uses.

svnsync allows to mirror a subtree of a repository

Lorenz,
Thanks for your reply. Do you know if I need to have both SVN 1.7 on the client and server side, or is just enough with the client?
Any other way that doesn't involve using brand new SVN?
Thanks!
