reorganizing the repository

Hi all,

I want to reorganize my repository as:

repo_location_url/tags/some_tag TO repo_location/tags/some_tag/ProjectWeb,
where repo_location = a URL.

But, I am getting this message
svn: Cannot move URL 'repo_location_url/tags/some_tag' into itself

Is this the right way to reorganize the repository? Please help if there is
any other way of reorganizing.

No, because the content you want to move shall go into the directory 
that you want to move away.

you need to do it in at least three steps:
1. svn mv      repo_location_url/tags/some_tag \
                repo_location_url/tags/some_tag_old

2. svn mkdir   repo_location_url/tags/some_tag

3. svn mv      repo_location_url/tags/some_tag_old \
                repo_location_url/tags/some_tag/ProjectWeb


ciao

Ulf
