My script is hanging too : I even tried setting up absolute paths and everything. Using svnrdump , you can generate incremental dumps just as you might with svnadmin dump. I tried to keep a working copy on the server and to invoke the svn log with the working copy path not the URL but I have the same problem. It is possible that at some point in the lifetime of your repository, you might have copied a file or directory from some location that svndumpfilter is excluding, to a location that it is including. Repository data migration using svnadmin.
