Migrate SVN Repositories

I recently had the need to migrate an SVN repository from one Unfuddle.com account to another. Their FAQ said that to import a repository you need to email customer service. I did and they quickly replied with this awesome info. I suppose that this would work with any SVN repo that supports svnsync.

All you need to do is run the following two commands:

1. svnsync init –username USERNAME

   http://NEWACCOUNT.unfuddle.com/svn/NEWACCOUNT_REPO

   http://OLDACCOUNT.unfuddle.com/svn/OLDACCOUNT_REPO

2. svnsync sync –username USERNAME

   http://NEWACCOUNT.unfuddle.com/svn/NEWACCOUNT_REPO

I’m watching the new repository sync with the old repository, full revision information and all, as I type this. Pretty cool. Thanks Unfuddle!
