The title says it all :) What i want is to dump a folder from one project and store it into another. Both folders (src: proj1/trunk/supplies, dest: extlibs/trunk) are in the same repository. My problem is that the when i load the "normal" dumpfile, the previous folder's path is kept and will be recreated at the new location (extlibs/trunk/proj1/trunk/supplies). So i've tried to change the path manually with win7 powershell:
svnrdump dump https://localghost/svn/test_repo/proj1/trunk/supplies | \
% {$_ -replace "Node-path: proj1", "Node-path: extlibs"} | \
% {$_ -replace "Node-path: extlibs/trunk/supplies", "Node-path: extlibs/trunk"}|\
Out-File foo.dmp
Alternatively, i also used this command line:
svnadmin dump <local svn dir> | svndumpfilter include proj1/trunk/supplies | \
% {$_ -replace "Node-path: proj1", "Node-path: extlibs"} | \
% {$_ -replace "Node-path: extlibs/trunk/supplies","Node-path: extlibs/trunk}|\
Out-File foo.dmp
However, when i use svnadmin load or svnrdump load to upload the path-modified dumpfile, i receive "malformed dumpfile header" error. If i change the path manually, i get MD5-checksum errors. I am really confused how to change powershell's output in order to make dump load work. I've tried
.. | Out-File -Enc UTF foo.dmp
.. | Out-File -Enc ASCII foo.dmp
Does someone of you know how to change the dumpfile's folder-path? Is my approach correct or is there a better way to change the repo-path?
I know that there are some tools out there but i can't use them now. I have to do this "by hand" in order to get a deeper understanding, but it seems that i may think too complicated.
Thanks for your help and time. I hope one of you knows how to solve this problem.
