I'm not familiar with --exclude. What sort of functionality are you
looking for?

The SVN repo I want to convert (years old with a few hundred commits) contains the project's built executables. Although it may not have been typical, that worked out ok on SVN since it was centralized and everyone didn't have their own copy of the repo. With DVCS, everyone has their own copy of the repo, so I don't want those files included when I convert the repo to Bazaar.

svn2bzr and hg convert both have the ability to do this, but svn2bzr won't run for me ( https://answers.launchpad.net/svn2bzr/+question/165994 ), and hg convert obviously converts to hg, not bzr.

This question was expired because it remained in the 'Open' state without activity for the last 15 days.

bzr-svn doesn't have anything like that - because of the way it works it is hard to tweak its output without introducing corruption issues (it uses deterministic revision ids, unlike svn2bzr).

We've considered adding an option to allow it to use non-deterministic revision ids, which would be consistent with what svn2bzr does.
