This way I have found the revision numbers to use. Then on the backup server I have used the svanadmin dump command as described to create the dump files, one fort each repository that had different last revision numbers. I have not yet done the last step to load the dump files into the main server. Questions: 1) When I run the "cat dump | svnadmin load repo_main command", will that be treated as a series of regular commits, which will trigger all the actions connected to a commit, like sending emails and such? 2) Is there a load command version where one specifies the file other than piping a cat to it? What happens with binary files in this cat operation? I have to pause for now over Xmas, family request.... -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden
