NAME

svn-dump-reloc - rewrite paths in a Subversion dump

SYNOPSIS

svn-dump-reloc from to [from1 to1 [...]]

DESCRIPTION

This utility modifies a repository dump, rewriting file paths in accordance with the passed arguments.

It reads the original repository dump from stdin and writes the modified dump to stdout.

It is useful to import a repository as a subdirectory of another already existent one. For instance:

$ svnadmin dump /my/repos | svn-dump-reloc "/" "my/project" >dump

will relocate all the files in the dump to the subdirectory my/project.

Or to rename or move directories:

$ svnadmin dump /my/repos | svn-dump-reloc "foo/doz" "bar" >dump

that will move the files in the directory foo/doz to bar leaving the rest untouched.

Paths are always absolute and there is no need to begin them with a slash (/). For instance, foo and /foo are equivalent.

This program does not check for colisions on the file tree and so, it is possible to generate corrupted dumps when some target path overlaps with another directory present in the dump.
