svndumpfilter is a command-line utility for removing history from a Subversion dump file by either excluding or including paths beginning with one or more named prefixes. For details, see the section called “svndumpfilter”.
Options in svndumpfilter are global, just as they are in svn and svnadmin:
--drop-empty-revsIf filtering causes any revision to be empty (i.e., causes no change to the repository), removes these revisions from the final dump file.
--renumber-revsRenumbers revisions that remain after filtering.
--skip-missing-merge-sourcesSkips merge sources that have been removed as part of the filtering. Without this option, svndumpfilter will exit with an error if the merge source for a retained path is removed by filtering.
--preserve-revpropsIf all nodes in a revision are removed by filtering and
--drop-empty-revsis not passed, the default behavior of svndumpfilter is to remove all revision properties except for the date and the log message (which will merely indicate that the revision is empty). Passing this option will preserve existing revision properties (which may or may not make sense since the related content is no longer present in the dump file).--quietDoes not display filtering statistics.
Here are the various subcommands for the svndumpfilter program.
