svnadmin load fails at particular revision no and deletes the commited directory

Question

I'm trying to load dump of my svn repository which I have taken through

svnadmin dump repository > repository.dump

and I'm trying to load it by using command

svnadmin load repository < repository.dump

svnadmin load fails at particular revision no and deletes the committed directory

svn admin commit 1182 and start deleting at revision 1183 all committed directory.

Please suggest the methods to overcome this.

svnadmin load fails at particular revision no and deletes the committed directory

svnadmin load does not fail in your case. It successfully loads the dump to the new repository. What you see is that the revision 1183 removes some versioned items from HEAD revision 1183. You can always revert this action using svn client application. Read SVNBook | Undoing Changes.
