SVN

Move a SVN repository

• on source machine:

svnadmin dump /path/to/repo > repo.dump

• transfer the file to the destination machine, then on the destination machine:

cd /repos/path
svnadmin create new-repo
svnadmin load new-repo < repo.dump

Note: if your repo is mature/large, you'll probably want to add compression along the way.

Note: if you have more than one repo on the source machine, all in the same folder (/repos/path), you can do:

• on source machine:

cd /repos/path
for i in `ls`; do svnadmin dump $i > $i.dump
tar cfz dumps.tar.gz *.dump
rm *.dump    # just to clean-up

• transfer the dumps.tar.gz to the destination machine, then:

mkdir /new/repos/path
tar xfz dumps.tar.gz
for i in `ls *.dump`; do
  svnadmin create `basename $i .dump`;
  svnadmin load `basename $i .dump` < $i;
done
rm dumps.tar.gz *.dump    # just to clean-up
