Random notes about SubVersion usage.
I had a situation where I wanted to remove the last X revisions from my repository. You can accomplish this with the following commands
matt@argon:~/tmp2$ svnadmin create repo2; svnadmin dump -r 0:173 repo1 | svnadmin load repo2
This creates a new repository (repo2) and dumps revisions 0 to 173 (inclusive) from repo1 into it.
