rsvndump - remote Subversion repository dump


About

rsvndump is a command line tool that is able to dump a Subversion repository that resides on a remote server. All data is dumped in the format that can be read an written by svnadmin load/dump, so the data which is produced can easily be imported into a new Subversion repository.

rsvndump supports most of the functionality of the normal svn client program and svnadmin, e.g. authentication, SSL-support, incremental dumps and support for dumping text deltas instead of fulltext.

Additionally, rsvndump is able to dump only a subdirectory of a repository, even without read access to the root directory. This may also work better than using svndumpfilter on an already existing dump, since possible copy actions are resolved during the dump process and replaced by normal file additions as needed.

Further information about rsvndump's behaviour and possible differences to the output generated by svnadmin dump can be found in the man page.
