I have a subversion server with several large repositories for various projects.

Currently I'm working on a subsection of one repository which is beginning to develop into a large project of its own. I would like to be able to manage it separately with Subversion and not have to commit the whole of the repository it is currently embedded in each time I make a change to this project.

Ideally I want to take this subsection out of the repository it is currently in and put it in its own repository.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks in advance.

Ok, let me see if I can explain this better.

Right now I have repositories like this:
/main (rep)
/main/info
/main/info/contact
/main/info/personnel
/main/info/faq
/main/stuff
/main/morestuff
/resource1 (rep)
/resource2 (rep)
...

I want to create a folder on the same level as the main repository and repositories inside it to look like this:
/main (rep)
/main/stuff
/main/morestuff
/resource1 (rep)
/resource2 (rep)
/info
/info/contact (rep)
/info/personnel (rep)
/info/faq (rep)

So far I've come up with this:
mkdir info

svnadmin dump ./main main-dump

svndumpfilter include /info/contact < main-dump > contact-dump
svndumpfilter include /info/personnel < main-dump > personnel-dump
svndumpfilter include /info/faq < main-dump > faq-dump

svnadmin create /info/contact ; svnadmin load /info/contact < contact-dump
svnadmin create /info/personnel ; svnadmin load /info/personnel < personnel-dump
svnadmin create /info/faq ; svnadmin load /info/faq < faq-dump

My first question is will this work the way I'm hoping?
My second question is what to do about the main repository since I still want to keep data in there but I want to get rid of what's going into the new repositories? I'd imagine I'd have to use some kind of svndumpfilter include/exclude, but I'd have to do it for multiple directories. Is that possible?
Could I just rmdir -r the info/ folder in the main repository?

Also, since I've made a dozen revisions to the main/ repository specifically for changes in the info section (hence my wanting to separate them), can I use the --drop-empty-revs and --renumber-revs on svndumpfilter to fix the revision numbering? Do I need to use it every time I use svndumpfilter?

Thank you so much for the help!
