svnadmin(1) Subversion Command Line Tool svnadmin(1) 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.

svn-backup-dumps - Create dumpfiles to backup a subversion repository. SYNOPSIS
svn-backup-dumps <repos> <dumpdir> DESCRIPTION
svn-backup-dumps creates dumpfiles from a subversion repository. It is intended for use in cron jobs and post-commit hooks. The basic modes of operation are: o Create a full dump (revisions 0 to HEAD) o Create incremental dump containing at most N revisions. o Create incremental single-revision dumps (for use in post-commit). Dumpfiles are named in the format basename.rev.svndmp or basename.rev.rev.svndmp, where basename is the repository directory name, and the rev arguments are the first and last revision numbers represented in the dumpfile, zero-padded to 6 digits. Optionally, svn-backup-dumps can compress dumpfiles with gzip or bzip2, and can transfer them to another host using FTP or SMB (using smb- client). OPTIONS
--version Show program's version number and exit. -h, --help Show this help message and exit. -b Compress the dump using bzip2. --deltas This is passed through to svnadmin dump. -c count Maximum number of revisions per dumpfile. -o Overwrite files. -O Overwrite all files. -q Quiet. -r rev Specify a single-revision dumpfile. -t ftp:host:user:password:path -t smb:share:user:password:path Transfer dumps to another machine using the FTP or SMB protocols. path is where to store the dumpfiles on the remote server; any occurrence of %r in the path is replaced by the repository name. Support for "smb:" requires the smbclient program. -z Compress the dump using gzip. EXAMPLES
To create a full dump of all revisions of a repository /srv/svn/foo in the directory /var/backup/svn: svn-backup-dumps /srv/svn/foo /var/backup/svn The dumpfile will be named src.000000-NNNNNN.svndmp.gz where NNNNNN is the head revision number. To create incremental dumps containing at most 1000 revisions: svn-backup-dumps --deltas -z -c 1000 /srv/svn/foo /var/backup/svn If the youngest revision is 2923, it creates the following files: foo.000000-000999.svndmp.gz foo.001000-001999.svndmp.gz foo.002000-002923.svndmp.gz If run again, later, when the youngest revision is 3045, it creates these two files: foo.002000-002999.svndmp.gz foo.003000-003045.svndmp.gz Note that it does not remove the redundant file foo.002000-002923.svndmp.gz. To create incremental single-revision dumps from a post-commit hook: svn-backup-dumps -r $rev $repos /var/backups/svn where $rev and $repos are variables previously set in the post-commit script from its command line. The dumpfile name will be in the form foo.000352.svndmp. To send the dumpfiles to the SMB share \ERNESTBACKUPS in a directory svnfoo with user svnuser and password w0rth1ng: svn-backup-dumps -t "smb://ERNEST/BACKUPS:svnuser:w0rth1ng:svn/%r /srv/svn/foo /tmp/tmpbackup Note that the %r in the path is replaced by the repository name foo. Note also that a local backup directory is required, at present, even when using the -t option. AUTHOR
