Import Dumped SVN Repo into Visual SVN

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/615728

Question

I have dumped my repository on my old computer to a file with the command. svnadmin dump C:\myrepo/ > mydumpfile

Now I decided to use Visual SVN on my new computer as opposed to just a baseline subversion. How do I import my repository into VisualSVN?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Figured it out now that Andrew Clark pointed out there is a "All Tasks"

Repository -> All Tasks -> Open Command Prompt

svnadmin create repository-name
svnadmin load repository-name < repository-name.dmp

OTHER TIPS

try copying your repository to like C:\Repositories

or use Repositories -> All Tasks -> Import Existing Repository

Importing from portable dump file implemented in VisualSVN Server 3.2:

  1. Start VisualSVN Server Manager
  2. Select Import Existing Repository command in context menu for Repositories node.
  3. Select radio-button Load repository from dump file, click Next.
  4. Enter path to dump file and click Next

Do not forget to configure SVN permissions for imported repository.
