Examples

This shows the beginning of loading a repository from a backup file (made, of course, with svn dump):

$ svnadmin load /usr/local/svn/restored < repos-backup
<<< Started new txn, based on original revision 1
     * adding path : test ... done.
     * adding path : test/a ... done.
...

Or, to load into a subdirectory:

$ svnadmin load --parent-dir new/subdir/for/project \
>   /usr/local/svn/restored < repos-backup
<<< Started new txn, based on original revision 1
     * adding path : test ... done.
     * adding path : test/a ... done.
...
