man svn-dump (Commandes) - dump a repository to a flat text file

NAME

svn-dump - dump a repository to a flat text file

SYNOPSIS

svn-dumprepository dumpfile [end-version [start-version ] ]

DESCRIPTION

svn-dump is a simple script that will dump an entire subversion repository to a flat text file. This is useful for backups and for repository migration when a new version of subversion is installed. The repository is specified by name rather than by URL.

To find the repository, svn-dump will first check if the user has a REPOS_BASE defined in their .svn-helperrc file. If not, svn-dump will check the system-wide /etc/svn-helper.conf file.

If end-version is specified, the dump file will contain all of the revision history from the first revision up to that version. If start-version is also specified, the dump file will only contain the changes between the two. If neither is specified, the entire respository is dumped.
