If you have an existing repository (either hosted by a different provider you by yourself), you can import it into XP-Dev.com by using a Subversion dump. A dump file is a special file that includes all revision history of your repository.
To generate a Subversion dump file, you will need to have the Subversion admin command line client downloaded and installed on your computer: svnadmin:
svnadmin dump /path/to/subversion/repository > repository-dump-file.dump
If your current repository is hosted by a 3rd party or is not available on your PC, you can use the new utility called svnrdump to generate a dump file:
svnrdump dump https://url.to/your/repository > repository-dump-file.dump
You can gzip the dump file as well to reduce it's size:
gzip repository-dump-file.dump
On your project's Repository tab, create a new Subversion repository. Ensure that Create Initial Directories is NOT SELECTED, and then click on Save:
Head to the Import & Export sub-tab and then click on Upload a Subversion dump file:
Pick your repository dump file that you created/downloaded earlier, and click on Upload:
Once the upload is complete, you can view it's import progress, and once the import is complete it should display something like the screenshot below:
