how to embed banches in svn?

[ykorotia]

hello

I have a work SVN repository that has history for 1 year. All data is in root folder.
/project data

I understand that svn proper structure must look like
/trunk/project data
/branches
/tags

Question is, how can I move project data to trunk folder without loosing history for files? I mean it must be without "copy".


regards

I have a work SVN repository that has history for 1 year. All data is in root folder.

It's not required, it's just a convention used for organizational purposes.

Why "without copy"? Copying preserves history; all Subversion client operations (when done properly) do. To reorganize your repository:

• svn mkdir URL_TO_ROOT/trunk
• svn mkdir URL_TO_ROOT/branches
• svn mkdir URL_TO_ROOT/tags
• svn mv URL_TO/project data URL_TO/trunk

To make things easy, do this all with URLs so it's done right in the repository, then check out a fresh WC from trunk.

Did as you said, but with explorer shell.
My bad if I don't understand it properly. I would like to see changes "a,b,c" in trunk. As on images they are gone.

anyone can help here?

When I do this

PS C:\Users\ykorotia> svn move -m "move" file:///D:/Users/ykorotia/Desktop/repo/123.txt file:///D:/Users/ykorotia/Deskto
p/repo/project1/trunk/123.txt --parents

I get history intact for file 123.txt in newly created directory, but I cannot see HISTORY LIST for folder


tried to move all project to trunk, got this

PS C:\Users\ykorotia> svn move -m "move" file:///D:/Users/ykorotia/Desktop/repo/ file:///D:/Users/ykorotia/Desktop/repo/
project1/trunk/
svn: E235000: In file 'D:\Development\SVN\Releases\TortoiseSVN-1.7.6\ext\subversion\subversion\libsvn_client\copy.c' lin
e 591: assertion failed (! svn_path_is_empty(path))
PS C:\Users\ykorotia>

and svn fails with exception


tried to move particular directory only:

PS C:\Users\ykorotia> svn move -m "move" file:///D:/Users/ykorotia/Desktop/repo/dir1 file:///D:/Users/ykorotia/Desktop/r
epo/project1/trunk2/ --parents

Committed revision 8.
PS C:\Users\ykorotia>

so, it looks like I achieved what I wanted on directory level. BUT how can I transfer all files from repository root as a folder then? So all history list will be visible in new directory

[ykorotia]

It looks like I get it, at last.

I've used these commands on test repositories

D:\Users\ykorotia\Desktop>svnadmin.exe dump D:\Users\ykorotia\Desktop\repo > dump
D:\Users\ykorotia\Desktop>svnadmin.exe load D:\Users\ykorotia\Desktop\repo2 --parent-dir trunk < dump

while before it I had to setup hook pre-revprop-change with "exit 0" for repo2 (destination) / just create file pre-revprop-change.bat for windows



last test and going for production..

maybe it will be usefull for someone
