Mirror a remote subversion repository locally.
If you have no problem being able to run svnrdump and svnadmin load to
mirror a repository, or using svnsync, then just use that.
These scripts were created to overcome some problems with a remote subversion repository. If you need to do any of the following, these scripts may help:
- Separate out svrdump files into separate files for each revision. See separateDumpFiles.pl.
- Overcome a remote repository that is denying access to a repo's root URL, effectively forcing you to dump one repository as three separate repositories (a repo for /trunk, /branches, /tags each).
- Merge those repositories back into one for your local mirror. See combineSameRevisionDumpFiles.pl.
- Overcome svnrdump files that have problematic revisions in them that are
causing svnadmin load to fail on said problematic revisions.
See syncRepo.pl.
- This isn't for fixing massive corruption problems and overcoming lost data. It was designed to overcome dump file loading problems for a repository where just a few revisions out of thousands were problematic, mainly due to directory renaming.
- Incrementally pull new revision dump files from the remote repository so that they can be loaded into the mirror with syncRepo.pl. See getNewIncrementals.pl.
