svnadmin load ep < ep.repo
# save the UUID
svnlook uuid ep
# delete the svn tool on SourceForge and re-create it with the same mount point and permissions
# create a remote sf-shell and modify some hook scripts
ssh -t fschild,cocotools@shell.sourceforge.net create
cd /home/svn/p/cocotools/auto/ep/hooks
echo -e '#!/bin/sh\n\nexit 0' > pre-revprop-change
chmod a+x pre-revprop-change
