svnbackup - Backup script for subversion repositories

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<svnbackup.sh> [I<options>] svn_repository_path

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This script dumps a subversion repository to a series of compressed
files.  It uses a local file to remember the last changeset dumped so
the script can be used to generate files for backups.

Using the --scp option, the backup files can be generated on one
machine and copied to a backup server once dumped.
