    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4821?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16888779#comment-16888779 ]

--------------------------------------

[[email protected]]: it's best to push your question on the users mailinglist (much bigger audience, also from other SVN users / administrators that might be able to give suggestions).

You mentioned that you did not receive any inputs from the mailing list ([email protected]), so I searched for your post in recent mails, but did not find it. Are you sure your post arrived on the mailinglist? It is archived in a couple of places (see http://subversion.apache.org/mailing-lists.html#users-ml): can you find your post in one of those archives, and add a link to that post-in-the-archives here?

> {color:#333333}Need your help,
> We have huge SVN repo (non-standard format with 76000 revisions) and want to split ONLY the binaries from the repo and then load those binaries into the new repo.
> To achieve this, we had followed the below approach:
> {color}
>  * {color:#242729}Create a dump of the current repository{color}{color:#333333}
> svnadmin dump /opt/repo > full_dump
> {color}
> {color:#333333} {color}
>  * {color:#333333}Filter the dump to include the binaries directories
> svndumpfilter include folderofbinaries --renumber-revs --drop-empty-revs < full_dump > filtered_dump
> {color}
> {color:#333333} {color}
>  * {color:#333333} Create a new repo
> svnadmin create newrepo
> {color}
> {color:#333333} {color}
>  * {color:#333333}Most of the directories included has a parent directory, therefore need to create
> svn checkout "[file:////path/to/newrepo/|file:///path/to/newrepo/]" newrepocheckout
> mkdir newrepocheckout/some
> svn add newrepocheckout/some
> svn commit newrepocheckout -m "Prepare to load filtered history"
> {color}
>  * {color:#333333}Create a local SVN repository with the filtered dump:{color}
> {color:#333333}      svnadmin load repo-filtered < filtered_dump
> {color}
>  
> {color:#333333}However, we are seeing errors related to
> {color}{color:#ff0000}svnadmin: File not found: transaction ‘0-0’ , path{color}{color:#333333}
> Tried using the option
> svnadmin load —parent-dir “/program” repo-filtered < filtered_dump
> {color}{color:#ff0000}svnadmin: E160013: File not found: transaction '0-0', path 'programs/branches’{color}{color:#333333}
> We have around 100's of 1000's of parent directories and how can we include all the parent directories while loading the filtered_dump into the new repo?
> Is there any possibility to copy all the parent directories from old repo to new repo and then load the dump into the new repo?{color}{color:#333333}
> {color}
> {color:#333333}Please advise.{color}
> {color:#333333}thanks,{color}
