1 ## Svn2svn
2
3 `svn2svn` is a utility for replicating the revision history from a source path
4 in a source SVN repository to a target path in a target SVN repository. In other
5 words, it "replays the history" of a given SVN folder into a new SVN repository.
6
7 This can be useful to create filtered version of a source SVN repository. For example,
8 say that you have a huge Subversion repository with a _lot_ of old branch history
9 which is taking up a lot of disk-space and not serving a lot of purpose going forward.
10 You can this utility to replay/filter just the "/trunk" SVN history into a new history,
11 so that things like "svn log" and "svn blame" will still show the (logically) correct
12 history, even though we end-up generating new commits and hence have new commit dates.
13
14 The original commit-date will be appended to the original commit message.
