[svk-devel] SVK SVN Mirroring Scenario

[Stine, Matt]

I had an idea, let me know if this would work.  Suppose I do the dump
procedure. I still need to provide the externals for our internal
development work. What if I branch this new repository and then remove
the svn:externals property from the branch? I could then schedule a
regular merge from the trunk to the branch and then mirror the branch.
Would that serve to filter out the externals?

Like Justin, I would encourage you to dump and filter.  You can dump
your current repository, filter the dump, load up the new repository
at Google Code, and then mirror that repository back to your local
site.  Or, if you want, you can load the dump locally into a new
repository and then mirror it.

There's no way to mirror incremental revisions and reliably avoid
showing some files.  There's also no way to have mirroring filter out
your externals.
