svnadmin is the administrative tool for monitoring and repairing your Subversion repository. For detailed information on repository administration, see the maintenance section for the section called “svnadmin”.
Since svnadmin works via direct repository access (and thus can only be used on the machine that holds the repository), it refers to the repository with a path, not a URL.
Options in svnadmin are global, just as they are in svn:
--bdb-log-keep
(Berkeley DB-specific.) Disable automatic log removal of database logfiles. Having these logfiles around can be convenient if you need to restore from a catastrophic repository failure.
--bdb-txn-nosync
(Berkeley DB-specific.) Disables fsync when
committing database transactions. Used with the
svnadmin create command to create a
Berkeley DB-backed repository with
DB_TXN_NOSYNC enabled (which improves
speed but has some risks associated with it).
--bypass-hooks
Bypass the repository hook system.
--clean-logs
Remove unused Berkeley DB logs.
--force-uuid
By default, when loading data into a repository that already contains revisions, svnadmin will ignore the UUID from the dump stream. This option will cause the repository's UUID to be set to the UUID from the stream.
--ignore-uuid
By default, when loading data into an empty repository, svnadmin will set the repository's UUID to the UUID from the dump stream. This option will cause the UUID from the stream to be ignored.
--incremental
Dump a revision only as a diff against the previous revision, instead of the usual fulltext.
--parent-dir
DIR
When loading a dump file, root paths at
DIR instead of
/.
--pre-1.4-compatible
When creating a new repository, use a format that is compatible with versions of Subversion earlier than Subversion 1.4.
--pre-1.5-compatible
When creating a new repository, use a format that is compatible with versions of Subversion earlier than Subversion 1.5.
--revision (-r)
ARG
Specify a particular revision to operate on.
--quiet (-q)
Do not show normal progress—show only errors.
--use-post-commit-hook
When loading a dump file, runs the repository's
post-commit hook after finalizing each newly loaded
revision.
--use-post-revprop-change-hook
When changing a revision property, runs the
repository's post-revprop-change hook after changing the
revision property.
--use-pre-commit-hook
When loading a dump file, runs the repository's
pre-commit hook before finalizing each newly loaded
revision. If the hook fails, aborts the commit and
terminates the load process.
--use-pre-revprop-change-hook
When changing a revision property, runs the
repository's pre-revprop-change hook before changing the
revision property. If the hook fails, aborts the
modification and terminates.
