title: SVN: Create a dump file of a folder
body: <p>I'm trying to create a dump file of a folder in my SVN repository. (My goal is to import this dump on another repository, but that's another story).</p>
  
  <p>I've read like 20 pages about this and they all tell me to use <a href="http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.ref.svndumpfilter.html" rel="nofollow">svndumpfilter</a>, but I can't seem to make it work.</p>
  
  <p>Here is my command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\&gt;svnadmin dump d:/SvnData/TestingSVN/ | svndumpfilter include /TestingSVN/Trunk/Fms/ &gt; d:\FMS.txt
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The output in the command line is this strange thing:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Including prefixes:
     '/TestingSVN/Trunk/Fms'

  etc. for 83 nodes...

  <p>Also, the dump file itself is only 3 KB and contains no real data, only things like that (this is not the complete dump, just a sample).</p>

  <p>How can this be sorted out?</p>
