NAME
       svnadmin - Subversion repository administration tool

SYNOPSIS
       svnadmin command repos-path [args]

OVERVIEW
       svnadmin  is a tool to perform administrative operations on a Subversion repository.  A Subversion repository contains the revision history
       of a directory tree. The revision history includes file changes and log messages as well as move and copy operations that were  applied	at
       some  time  in the past to the tree.  svnadmin operations are typically carried out by an administrator. The svn(1) tool handles operations
       for normal users of the source controlled resource.

COMMANDS
       create repos-path
	      Create a new, empty repository at repos-path.  For example, a repository can be created with the command:

			$ svnadmin create /var/svn

	      Importing a source tree into the repository created above is possible with the svn(1) command :

			$ svn import file:///var/svn . new_proj

       createtxn repos-path -rbase_rev
	      Create a new transaction based on base_rev.

       dump repos-path [ -rlower-rev[:upper-rev] ] [--incremental]
	      Dump the contents of filesystem to stdout in a 'dumpfile' portable format, sending feedback to  stderr.	Dump  revisions  lower-rev
	      through upper-rev.  If no revisions are given, all revision trees are dumped.  If just lower-rev is given, that one revision tree is
	      dumped.  A 'dumpfile' is used to convert between incompatible repository formats. If --incremental is passed, then the  first  revi-
	      sion dumped will be a diff against the previous revision, instead of the usual fulltext.

       load repos-path
	      Read a 'dumpfile'-formatted stream from stdin, committing new revisions into the repository's filesystem.  Send progress feedback to
	      stdout.

       lscr repos-path path [ --copies ]
	      Print, one-per-line and youngest-to-eldest, the revisions in which path was modified.  Use the --copies flag to allow this operation
	      to  cross  copy  history	while searching for revisions.	(For directories, this is, for now, almost guaranteed to be uninteresting.
	      Also, path must exist in the HEAD of the repository.)

       lstxns repos_path
	      Print all txn names.

       recover repos_path
	      Run the Berkeley DB recovery procedure on a repository.  WARNING: only run this when you are SURE you're the only process  accessing
	      the repository.  Requires exclusive access.

       rmtxns repos-path txn-name [ ... ]
	      Delete the transaction(s) named txn-name.

       setlog repos-path -rrev file
	      Set  the	log-message  on  revision  rev to the contents of file.  Be careful with this option.  Log messages are stored as revision
	      properties.  The history of revision properties is not saved.  This command will permanently overwrite the previous log message.
