How to commit (not load!) an svn dump?

Question

I have my own SVN server. But I need to move a project from it to another one, which is not under my administration. I know you can load a dump and this is simple if you have access to it, but I don't. So...

Is it possible to commit a dump (a number of revisions) to an SVN server?

If so, how?

Answer 1

The only tool I can think of is svnsync:

svnsync is the Subversion remote repository mirroring tool. Put simply, it allows you to replay the revisions of one repository into another one.

In any mirroring scenario, there are two repositories: the source repository, and the mirror (or “sink”) repository. The source repository is the repository from which svnsync pulls revisions. The mirror repository is the destination for the revisions pulled from the source repository. Each of the repositories may be local or remote—they are only ever addressed by their URLs.

The svnsync process requires only read access to the source repository; it never attempts to modify it. But obviously, svnsync requires both read and write access to the mirror repository.
