    svnadmin dump /srv/svn/old-repo | svndumpfilter include --drop-empty-revs --renumber-revs /directory-name > directory.svndump
    svnadmin load /srv/svn/new-repo < directory.svndump

    Please note, that if directory structure needs to be changed (for example, from /old-repo/projects/dir to /new-repo/dir) manual edit of dump file will not help. Instead, sed must be combined with svndumpfilter. Additional info regarding this topic can be found here.

It worked fine on host Windows XP, but OpenSUSE VM was acting like there is no keyboard at all. Couple of minutes of brain activity and finger work I’ve found that /etc/X11/xorg.conf was replaced during Virtualbox Guest Additions update. Comparing xorg.conf between two latest VB releases, I was able to get the keyboard working. Here is a fix:

    diff_small

    xorg.conf diff

    1. Restore old xorg.conf : cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    2. Add Option "CoreKeyboard" to InputDevice section of Keyboard[0]
    3. Add Option "CorePointer" to InputDevice section of Mouse[1]
    4. Add Option "SendCoreEvents" to InputDevice section of Mouse[2]
    5. Rename Device option from InputDevice section of Mouse[2] from /dev/vboxadd to /dev/vboxguest

However, I have failed trying to change it to english because there is no visible configuration option for that. Now that’s weird!
    After googling for few minutes I’ve found that this is not a GIMP problem but rather GTK+ for Windows and to force it to use english translation by default you need to add lang environment variable with the value of c.

    Passing -static-libgcc will remove this dependency for all languages other than C.

    mingwm10.dll

    Remove -mthreads option from your makefile.
    Note: Multithreading and C++ exceptions depends on this option.

    /etc/sysconfig/svnserve:

    SVNSERVE_OPTIONS="-d -R -r /path-to-repos"

    This way repository can be checked out using following commands (consider ssh is set up and working):

    svn co svn://server.com/repository directory

    or

    svn co svn+ssh://server.com/path-to-repos/repository directory

    The reason is simple – svn+ssh is just accessing a subversion repository locally, using SSH as the transport, and hence you have access to the entire filesystem. Svnserve daemon, in contrast, is told “start your paths with /path-to-repos”, and so you don’t have to specify it manually. You can’t argue with me that this can be really annoying in case if, for example, you work with repositories from your local intranet over svn, and from outside world over ssh.

    Solution is simple. Wrapper script in place of original svnserve binary:

    Rename svnserve to, let’s say, svnserve.bin:

    mv /usr/bin/svnserve /usr/bin/svnserve.bin

    Save this script as /usr/bin/svnserve:

    #!/bin/sh
    exec /usr/bin/svnserve.bin -r /path-to-repos "$@"

    Update permissions:

    chmod 755 /usr/bin/svnserve

    Voila! Now your repository links will look similar for both svn and svn+ssh:

    svn co svn://server.com/repository directory
    svn co svn+ssh://server.com/repository directory
