How to export files from SVN-dump

In order to easily export files from a SVN-dump you need subversion installed and then proceed the following commands to

  1. create a local <temp> repo
  2. push the dump to <temp>
  3. export the files (latest revision) to <folder>

So here we go:

  • mkdir temp
  • svnadmin create temp/
  • svnadmin load temp/ < downloaded.dump
  • svnserve -r temp/ -d
  • svn export svn://localhost <folder>

Tested under MacOSX El Capitan

PS: do not forget to kill svnserve-daemon before repeating the above mentioned steps: ps -All | grep svnserve
