Invoke-SvnAdminCreate
SYNOPSIS
Create a new, empty repository.
SYNTAX
Invoke-SvnAdminCreate [-Path] <String[]> [-RepositoryType <RepositoryType>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
Create a new, empty repository at the path provided. If the provided directory does not exist, it will be created for you. As of Subversion 1.2, svnadmin creates new repositories with the FSFS filesystem backend by default.
While svnadmin create will create the base directory for a new repository, it will not create intermediate directories. For example, if you have an empty directory named C:\svn, creating C:\svn\Repositories will work, while attempting to create C:\svn\subdirectory\Repositories will fail with an error. Also, keep in mind that, depending on where on your system you are creating your repository, you might need to run svnadmin create as a user with elevated privileges (such as the administrator).
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Create an empty repository
Creating a new repository is this easy:
cd C:\Repositories
svnadmin-create myrepo
This command will create an empty repository at C:\Repositories\myrepo.
Example 2: Specifying repository type
In Subversion 1.0, a Berkeley DB repository is always created. In Subversion 1.1, a Berkeley DB repository is the default repository type, but an FSFS repository can be created using the -RepositoryType option:
svnadmin-create C:\Repositories\myrepo -RepositoryType FsFs
