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

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 One last typo in there, Ben.

While getting the dump of the repo i want the dump to be in such a way that if it is loaded into new repository it should have directories "trunk, tags, and branches" at the root. And i dont want the directories "Circuits" in the new repository. I modified the dump file changing the "Node-path" and "Node-copyfrom-path" but when i tried to load the dump file it says "Checksum error". It was expecting some checksum value for the file but the actual checksum was different. Then i thought of changing content of the dump file before it was written. Below is the script i wrote: $ svnadmin dump C:/\svn_repository/\Hardware | svndumpfilter include /Circuits/ trunk | sed -e "s/Node-path: Circuits\/trunk/Node-path: trunk/g" | sed -e "s/Node-copyfrom-path: Circuits\/trunk/Nod​e-copyfrom-path: trunk/g" > hardwarecircui ts.dmp Even then i was not able to solve the checksum error issue. I would appreciate any help. Hope to hear from you soon. Regards Kranthi Hi Guys,
Try imagining the repository structure by the following
“svn://localhost/Hardware/Circuits/trunk”
“svn://localhost/Hardware/Circuits/tags”
“svn://localhost/Hardware/Circuits/branches”.
While getting the dump of the repo i want the dump to be in such a way that if it is loaded into new repository it should have directories “trunk, tags, and branches” at the root.
And i dont want the directories “Circuits” in the new repository.
I modified the dump file changing the “Node-path” and “Node-copyfrom-path” but when i tried to load the dump file it says “Checksum error”. It was expecting some checksum value for the file but the actual checksum was different.
Then i thought of changing content of the dump file before it was written.
Below is the script i wrote:
$ svnadmin dump C:/\svn_repository/\Hardware | svndumpfilter include /Circuits/
trunk | sed -e “s/Node-path: Circuits\/trunk/Node-path: trunk/g” | sed -e “s/Node-copyfrom-path: Circuits\/trunk/Nod​e-copyfrom-path: trunk/g” > hardwarecircui
ts.dmp
Even then i was not able to solve the checksum error issue.
I would appreciate any help. Hope to hear from you soon.

Maki brings up a good point with specific searching for svn node paths. I was bitten by this for about half an hour, each time getting svnadmin: Dumpstream data appears to be malformed. Turns out my sed query found other unrelated items and replaced them as well. When I switched to searching for Node-path:, Copyfrom-path: and Node-copyfrom-path:, all was well.
