How to copy between Subversion repositories preserving properties but not preserving history

How can I copy a fo开发者_运维技巧lder from one existing Subversion repository to another without preserving history, and in such a way that preserves relevant svn properties (e.g. preserve svn:ignore, svn:eol-style but ignore svn:mergeinfo).

To use svn export followed by svn import would not preserve svn properties, so this is not good.

We are currently experimenting with:

svnadmin dump /path/to/repo1 -r HEAD | svndumpfilter include project/to/keep | svnadmin load /path/to/repo2

But so far we have not been able to get the svnadmin load to succeed with just these partial dumps.

Does anyone know of a way to do this?

It turned out to be a simple problem. We had to create /projec/to, but not the keep folders on the destination repository prior to reloading.
