I want begin my online vendue internet site. I don’t know anything about programming. What kind of programres and what experience do they necessitate to have for me to build a vendue internet site? If i could get a list with all the peoples i ask to charter, and some more information on how everything works would be really apreciated. As well if you could tell me around how much each one of these employees makes would be great too. Thanks in advance!

[...] Please note, that if directory structure needs to be changed (for example, from /old-repo/projects/dir to /new-repo/dir) manual edit of dump file will not help. Instead, sed must be combined with svndumpfilter. Additional info regarding this topic can be found here. [...]

This is probably the most helpfull about svndumpfilter I could came across in the entire internet. Now I got my repository properly dumped and loaded one directory UP.
Thanks !

One last typo in there, Ben. The last sed should be ’s/Node-copyfrom-path: FOLDERNAME\//Node-copyfrom-path: /g’ which makes it:
cat /backup/svn/svn.dump | svndumpfilter –drop-empty-revs –renumber-revs include FOLDERNAME | sed ’s/Node-path: FOLDERNAME\//Node-path: /g’ | sed ’s/Node-copyfrom-path: FOLDERNAME\//Node-copyfrom-path: /g’ | gzip -9 > FOLDERNAME.dump.gz

There was an error on my last post, this is correct:

cat /backup/svn/svn.dump | svndumpfilter –drop-empty-revs –renumber-revs include FOLDERNAME | sed ’s/Node-path: FOLDERNAME\//Node-path: /g’ | sed ’s/Node-copyfrom-path: FOLDERNAME\//Node-path: /g’ | gzip -9 > FOLDERNAME.dump.gz

This works pretty nicely for me:

cat /backup/svn/svn.dump | svndumpfilter –drop-empty-revs –renumber-revs include frank | sed ’s/Node-path: FOLDERNAME\//Node-path: /g’ | sed ’s/Node-copyfrom-path: FOLDERNAME\//Node-path: /g’ | gzip -9 > FOLDERNAME.dump.gz
