Good. I assume the details of the Makefile are not important, since it is probably going to be revamped in the style of the svn build system anyway. > +++ b/svndumpr.c > @@ -0,0 +1,68 @@ [...] > +svn_error_t *populate_context() [...] > +svn_error_t *open_connection(const char *url) [...] > +svn_error_t *replay_range(svn_revnum_t start_revision, svn_revnum_t end_revision) Why not static? > +svn_error_t *populate_context() > +{ > + const char *http_library; > + > + SVN_ERR(svn_config_get_config(&(ctx->config), NULL, pool)); > + > + http_library = getenv("SVN_HTTP_LIBRARY"); > + if (http_library) > + svn_config_set(apr_hash_get(ctx->config, "servers", APR_HASH_KEY_STRING), > + "global", "http-library", http_library); I tried googling for this SVN_HTTP_LIBRARY setting, but no useful hints. I take it that this overrides the [global] http-library setting from ~/.subversion/servers? Do other commands honor this environment variable or just svndumpr?

It would not be so difficult for libsvnclient to automatically set the admin dir according to whether SVN_ASP_DOT_NET_HACK is set or not, or at least to provide a single function to call and do so. But that is not the topic for the moment. I am tempted to suggest checking SVN_ASP_DOT_NET_HACK unconditionally (i.e., on Unix, too), just so the function is easier to scan. Or there could be a separate set_appropriate_adm_dir function in svndumpr.c: #if defined(WIN32) || ... static svn_error_t *set_appropriate_adm_dir(...) { if (getenv... ... } #else static svn_error_t *set_appropriate_adm_dir(... { return SVN_NO_ERROR; } #endif Feel free to ignore me here. :) > + > + SVN_ERR(populate_context()); > + SVN_ERR(svn_cmdline_create_auth_baton(&(ctx->auth_baton), TRUE, > + NULL, NULL, NULL, FALSE, > + FALSE, NULL, NULL, NULL, > + pool)); Maybe comments would help, for the boolean arguments. > + SVN_ERR(svn_client_open_ra_session(&session, url, ctx, pool)); > + return SVN_NO_ERROR; > +} > + > +svn_error_t *replay_range(svn_revnum_t start_revision, svn_revnum_t end_revision) > +{ > + return SVN_NO_ERROR; > +} Might be more self-explanatory without this function, but that is just nitpicking. > + > +int main() > +{ > + const char url[] = "http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf"; > + svn_revnum_t start_revision = 1, end_revision = 500; > + if (svn_cmdline_init ("svndumpr", stderr) != EXIT_SUCCESS) > + return 1; > + > + pool = svn_pool_create(NULL); > + > + SVN_INT_ERR(open_connection(url)); > + SVN_INT_ERR(replay_range(start_revision, end_revision)); > + > + svn_pool_destroy(pool); > + > + return 0; > +} So: this is an expensive no-op.
