I am thinking about creating a new repository in SVN for a section of our main project. I would like to respect the revision number we have got to, though.
So my question is: Is it possible, when creating a new SVN repository to “seed” the revision number to, say 1100?
Thanks 🙂
See the section in the SVN book titled Filtering Repository History. It shows how you can extract part of repository A (including all history) and put it in its own repository B.
By default the svndumpfilter command will keep the revision numbers, though it has options to control that.
