Subversion dumping last `n` revisions

svn

Solution

Try the following:

svnadmin dump -r2000:HEAD /path/to/repos > dump.dmp

Problem

I'm trying to dump the last 500 revisions from an SVN repository (to reimport as new repo) using... ``` svnadmin dump /path/to/repos > dump.dmp -r2000:HEAD ``` But the dump doesn't seem to stop and the dump file is reaching 3gb in size (a full dump 1:HEAD is only 600mb) What am I doing wrong here?!
