[cmview-devel] First steps to remove Sphoxel data from cmview repos

[Henning Stehr]

Hi Jose,

I started to have a look at how to remove the monster file(s) from the
svn history.

In principle, the procedure using 'svndumpfilter' is described here:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.reposadmin.maint.html#svn.reposadmin.maint.filtering

The command 'svndumpfilter' takes a pathname to exclude from the history.
>From inspecting the history with 'svn log', it seems that it should be
sufficient to exclude the path:

trunk/src/resources/sphoxelBG

So, the relevant commands should be:

svnadmin dump REPOS_PATH > dump-file
svndumpfilter exclude trunk/src/resources/sphoxelBG < dump-file > new-dump-file
svnadmin load REPOS_PATH < new-dump-file

I'll double check and give it a try later. I'm posting this to keep a
record and to let you know what's going on.

Cheers,
Henning
