Yes, I understand that, but if you look in the change log and see that it is a revert of 12345, you will not find 12345 in our code base because the starting number looks like it is going to be much higher, and there is no guarantee that the 12345 I referenced would match to the 12345 you look up.
Maybe we all have to remember to add some offset to the revision number for checkins prior to some date or revision? -Alex On 1/4/12 10:21 AM, "Douglas Arthur" <dart...@vmware.com> wrote: > As long as you're creating a true dump via "svnadmin dump", it can be loaded > with "svnadmin load", thus preserving the history.
