Transfering SVN repo from windows to linux…?

Question

How can I transfer these repos so that I can use them on linux? I simply just tried to copy and paste from windows to linux but no-go.

Answer 1

You should dump your repository and then import it in Linux.

See http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/re31.html.

Answer 2

You would follow this basic process:

1. Dump your source (windows) repository ala:

   C:\Path\To\Repos> svnadmin dump repoName > repoName.dmp

2. Copy the dump file to your dest machine (linux)

3. Create a new SVN repository to house the dump file:

   /path/to/repos> svnadmin create repoName

4. Import the dump file:

   svnadmin load repoName < repoName.dmp
