The script will make a directory called svnbackup/REVISION so that I can easily import them later.
I pulled my nextretro project, and now I just have to decide where to put it.
#!/bin/bash
#this script exports any SVN repo to a possibly huge directory export
BACKUP_LOCATION='svnbackup'
#get the current repo
REMOTE_URL=$(svn info| grep -vi "Relative" | grep URL)
CURRENT_URL="${REMOTE_URL#*:}"
#get this repo version
REMOTE_VERSION=$(svn info | grep Revision)
CURRENT_VERSION="${REMOTE_VERSION#*:}" # strip out the version number
#create the directory
mkdir -p $BACKUP_LOCATION
svn info > $BACKUP_LOCATION/repo.info
echo "backing up current svn: $REMOTE_URL"
echo "current version: $CURRENT_VERSION"
COUNTER=1
while [ $COUNTER -ne $CURRENT_VERSION ]; do
echo Exporting revision: $COUNTER
mkdir -p $BACKUP_LOCATION/$COUNTER
svn co -r$COUNTER $CURRENT_URL $BACKUP_LOCATION/$COUNTER/.
svn log --revision $COUNTER > $BACKUP_LOCATION/$COUNTER/commit.log
let COUNTER=COUNTER+1
done
