I've created an svn dump for our project using svnrdump

svnrdump dump https://my.repo.com/project_name > my_dump.dump

Now I want to open it locally. How should I do it?

I've tried svnadmin load ~/test/ < my_dump.dump it gave me test/format': No such file or directory error, so I went with create first

svnadmin create ~/test
svnadmin load ~/test/ < my_dump.dump

It went without any errors, but it looks like it transferred all info into some kind of db, because the structure of the folder is not like my project. It looks smthng like this

conf/ db/ format hooks/ locks/ README.txt

So, what should I do to extract the dump into some local folder and make its structure look how it was on the repo?

Finally managed with it using svn export command (found it here but it's for windows). To summarize, to extract svn dump file you need

svnadmin create /some/tmp/dir
svnadmin load /some/tmp/dir < my_dump.dump
svn export file:///some/tmp/dir /path/to/extracted/dir

The ~/test directory contains only the subversion repository, not working copy (what you want) so please run svn checkout file:///YourHomedir/test /path/to/working/copy.
