Export SVN repository

At first it seems quite forward to do this, but I have ran into the issue of encoding problems. And trying to get a huge (40G) dumpfile into the container. 

 What did work for me: 

 1. Have a bind path in your container, to manage the large file 

 

 2. Use the container and dump the file into this path 

 svnrdump dump -r0:HEAD [URL_TO_YOUR_REPO] > Your_dumpfile.dmp 

 This will show the progress as follows: 

 

 svnadmin load /path/yourrepo < /path/your/dum.dmp 

 

 

 What didn't work for me: 

 

 This is the official documentation :  dump your SVN    

 svnadmin dump /path/to/your/old/repo > backup.dump

svnadmin load /path/to/your/new/repo < backup.dump.dmp 

 If you redirect the input to your host, it circumvents the large file in the docker.  

 

 cd /tmp

docker exec -it edf77623c9207 svnadmin dump /home/svn/YourRepository > YourRepository_svn.dmp 

 But importing it back, an error is produced:
