Can I take multiple revisions in Subversion and combine them into one?
I’d like to be able to take a few commits that include some interim blind alleys that I no longer care about and produce a single revision. For no reason other than to tidy up the svn history of a bug fix a litle bit.
You can do this using
svnadmin dump, then manually editing the dump file, andsvnadmin loadit again, but it’s not recommended to do this because it’s error-prone and somewhat defeats the purpose of version control.Don’t do it.
