I found that svnfilter didn’t work for me, after all.

This site explained why:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/svn.html ( Part 6, “Except that svndumpfilter doesn’t quite work…” )

svndumpfilter2 also had an issue to overcome:
svndumpfilter: Invalid copy source path ‘/some/old/path’

I posted something on this site explaining how I just bumped the memory allocated to the VM to 2G: ( And the 2G may have been overkill. )

Thanks for posting this. It saved me some time. ( Which is good, because time was already lost generating a dump file with –deltas. ) Much appreciated!

Thanks. I’ve been trying to solve this for a couple of hours and the subversion book & websites don’t have the key fact, that “svndumpfilter only works on full dump files.”

Two lessons learned while writing this post:

Turn off ndash conversion in WordPress (it’s a pain, but worth it if you put code snippets in blog posts): http://www.linuxscrew.com/2007/09/23/disable-double-hyphen-to-dash-wordpress-replacements/

Also, get a good code syntax highlighting plugin. People seem to like this one:
