Major Description
If I svnrdump over a revision range of a subpath (any dir below the repos root), the first dumped revision comes with the subpath stripped in each "Node-path:", but the following revisions have the full repos-root relative path: [[[ $ URL=http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/subversion/svn $ svnrdump dump $URL -r1213645:1213646 | grep -a ^Node-path Node-path: Node-path: patch-cmd.c Node-path: merge-cmd.c [...] Node-path: info-cmd.c Node-path: unlock-cmd.c * Dumped revision 1213645. Node-path: subversion/trunk/subversion/svn/main.c * Dumped revision 1213646. ]]] For my specific use case, they should probably all be stripped, so that one can load into a different repos at a --parent-dir of choice, leaving out the empty parent dirs (and the need to move things around). I can also imagine a different use case where one prefers to have "a slice" of the repos with full paths present. Just maybe, there could be a new commandline option to choose between these two ways? Basically I have no firm opinion, other than that this behavior should be fixed and documented in 'svnrdump help dump'. (BTW, 'svnadmin dump' does not take subpaths within repositories, period.)
