Tips for Twits

svnadmin dump /path/to/somerepository < somerespositry.svn.backup

The resulting file can be pretty large. Its basically a file of all your snapshots. Needless to say, if you’re at revision 300, be prepared to wait.

svnadmin create /path/to/newrespository

Double check the created directory structure where possible, many a times my svn folders arent created with the correct group write permissions. So remote commits encounters transaction errors

svnadmin load /path/to/newrepository < somerepository.svn.backup

And you’re done! really simple wasnt it?
