Thanks a lot, this saved me a lot of time.

One comment: for some reason importing a large dump using the above “svnadmin load” command takes a lot of time. In my case, the shell timed out before the process could finish. Redirecting the stdout and stderr to a file solved that, allowing the process to finish in a couple of minutes.

Perfect. Trunk migrated, tags migrated… Thanks a lot!!!

Just one little difference I found: for me this step:

$ mv /home/groups/P/PR/PROJECT/svndump .

…was, instead:

$ mv /home/project-web/PROJECT/svndump .

Thanks for the tip. Just one thing: make sure you’ve enabled SVN from the web administration first (at least, before you log into shell.sf.net): you’ll save yourself “unable to lock” and other similar trouble.
