CLONE-SVN2SVN

If svnadmin dump is not an option, you can use the clone-svn2svn bash script. It copies an SVN directory to another SVN site with compete or partial revision history.

clone-svn2svn.sh  

Requirements

Bash and git are required for the script to work. If you are on Windows or another platform, download them from git-scm web site. This is a git installer with bash included.
