Hello Sergey! Your patch was filed as issue #4729 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4729 and released in Subversion 1.10 https://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.10.html#dump-include-exclude
A user has reported a problem with this feature. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4760 It looks like when the source of a copied directory is excluded, it is only adding the directory itself and not adding the directory's contents. That sounds to me like a bug -- it is not the behaviour I would expect. I see that the regression tests only test with an empty source directory. subversion/tests/cmdline/svnadmin_tests.py : dump_exclude_copysource() etc. Are you able to investigate this? -- - Julian Sergey Raevskiy wrote on 2016-10-12: > I've attached a patch that adds '--include/--exclude' options to 'svnadmin > dump'.
