Yep, it does *exactly* that :) $ svnrdump help dump dump: usage: svnrdump dump URL [-r LOWER[:UPPER]] Dump revisions LOWER to UPPER of repository at remote URL to stdout in a 'dumpfile' portable format. If only LOWER is given, dump that one revision. $ svnrdump help load load: usage: svnrdump load URL Load a 'dumpfile' given on stdin to a repository at remote URL. > > http://git.kernel.org/?p=git/git.git;a=blob;f=contrib/svn-fe/svn-fe.txt > > Looks like "svnadmin dump --incremental REPO | svn-fe" the export command > reposurgeon needs, but I'm not clear what the corresponding import > command would be. Yes, that is correct. You might consider using svnrdump for local repositories as well though- just use 'file://<path>' in place of '<path>'; it's faster than svnadmin in some bechmarks. You can "import" once we finish building the git fast-import stream -> dumpfile converter :) -- Ram
