migrate existing svn repos to beanstalk
Can an existing SVN repos be migrated into beanstalk? I want all of my repos logs and commit messages to be migrated. If I were administering this repos, I would do a "svnadmin dump" and "svnadmin load". But, I can't tell is beanstalk supports this.
I’m indifferent

Inappropriate?so, I just signed up for a free account. I noticed that I can do an import of a dump file. this was great news for me. The problem is that it took forever to upload. and, it never finished. I let it run for about an hour. Granted the dump file is fairly large (30 mgs). So, I tried the archive method which allows for a zip file (11 mgs). No luck with this either.
Is this normal? Does it usually take this long?
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Fred, I just went through this process, so I can tell you that: yes, it does. When you click "Create a repository", you are given several options for importing old repos. They recommend the dumpfile generated by "svnadmin dump". It was having some issues a few weeks ago, but I just tested this morning and it works splendidly. Assuming your dumpfile is under 20MB, you can test it on a free account. More than that and you'll need a paid account, or you can just test a limited range of changesets. -
Inappropriate?Ok. Thanks. It must be because I am on a free account. And, the storage limit is only 20mgs.
There should probably be a check on the file size before uploading though. Maybe, I'll post it as a recommendation/feature request.
Thanks.
I’m thankful
