remove old revision from svn server

Question

I don't have enough space to commit my changes in a svn server, there is a way to delete some old revisions of file so i can commit again, there is another way to gain space? I'm not an administrator of the svn server.

Answer 1

If you aren't admin, you can't do it. Real admin can do it and know how to to it in a best way!

Doing your own thing!

Answer 2

If you don't want to lose the complete history, then you have to delete parts of subversion history, but if the used disk space is more important than the version history, you could make a clean checkout and reimport your projects into a new repository. The old repositories could then be stored in a compressed archive.

Answer 3

I think you could use svndumpfilter to accomplish this, but the real solution is to get a new server. Disk space is not sufficiently expensive that selectively poking holes in your history seems like a reasonable thing to do.
