subversion : Moving a particular repository content to another repository (Finally i have to delete old reopository for security reasons)

I want to keep a particular folder with all revisions before deleting the current repository from my system for security reasons (means i don't want other informations of the repository, but a particular folder).. So i am thinking of creating a new repository and to get copied the particular folder's content into it.. Can it be possible?

Yup. You need svnadmin dump your repository, run it through svndumpfilter to keep the folder you want and then svnadmin load it into the new repository.

Examples are in those links, especially the svndumpfilter one. Hint: to make it all go faster, combine the 3 utilities in a single command, don't dump to a file, filter the file then load the file - pipe the output of each to the next.

You should be able to do this with svnadmin dump and svndumpfilter: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.reposadmin.maint.html#svn.reposadmin.maint.filtering
