I thought I recalled when svnrdump was first created that there were some timing comparisons made with svnsync that showed it to be faster at doing a full dump/sync of a remote repository. When I test via HTTP:
svnrdump dump http://server/repos | svnadmin load repos And compare this to an equivalent svnsync, I find that the times it takes to do this is essentially the same. I then compared the HTTP access logs of the server and see that the two commands produce identical logs, so obviously there are not going to be big performance differences. Am I missing something? I realize that svnrdump still fulfills a need, so I am not questioning the value of the tool. Just questioning whether my results make sense. As I see it, for this specific scenario, someone would be better off to still simply use svnsync for this purpose. -- Thanks Mark Phippard http://markphip.blogspot.com/
