SVN moving repos and extracting single projects

One time at band camp - i had a situation where there were multiple projects within 1 svn repo, and it came the time to migrate just 1 of those projects.... the following code uses 'svndumpfilter' to extract JUST that one project and it's contents from the mutiple items within the 1 repo...

$ svnadmin dump /path/to/repo | svndumpfilter include /proj > dump-file
$ svnadmin create /new/proj/repo
$ svnadmin load --ignore-uuid /new/proj/repo < dump-file
$ svn rm file:///path/to/repo/proj

This will keep ALL commit and log history.
