svnfiltereddump

The svnfiltereddump tool is meant to extract portions of repositories of the Subversion source control system. It's output can be loaded with Subversion's "svnadmin load" command into a new Subversion repository. The source repository must be given on the command line. A list of paths to extract may given on command line or in one or more input file(s). It is also possible to skip the revision history before a given starting revision.

COMPATIBILITY

This tool was designed to run on Linux. It is assumed to work on other Unix-ish systems. It will certainly not work on systems with no IPC over pipes or with backslashes in path names.

INSTALLATION

Presently the preferred way of installation is via pip:

sudo pip install svnfiltereddump
