I'm surprised you think that; I find the svn dump format quite easy and
straightforward. (Of course it assumes some Subversionisms, like easy
deep directory copies, which I can imagine would be annoying in other
contexts.) What don't you like about the format?
Is there good doco and samples for it? I wouldn't mind doing things by
way of an SVN dump parser.
I don't know if it classes as what you call good, but it is documented:
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/notes/fs_dumprestore.txt
Yes, fast-import is a very easy-to-write format and looks to be very
well documented. I don't think that having to write output in
fast-import format would be any kind of a hindrance for such a tool.
Damn! You've now figured out that all my volunteering was for the easy
part of the job ;-)
