How to move files from within one URL to within another?
I need to move the files from one URL to another URL
I have a bunch of directories and files located at
this URL:
svn://myserver.myhost.com/svnrepo/trunk/myclient
I want to move the files to this URL:
svn://myserver.myhost.com/svnrepo/myclient/trunk
When I do this command:
svn move \
svn://myserver.myhost.com/svnrepo/trunk/myclient/*
\
svn://myserver.myhost.com/svnrepo/myclient/trunk/
The error I get is:
svn: Path
'svn://myserver.myhost.com/svnrepo/trunk/myclient/*'
does not exist in revision 1269
I *can* move the entire direcotry, like this:
svn move \
svn://myserver.myhost.com/svnrepo/trunk/myclient/ \
svn://myserver.myhost.com/svnrepo/myclient/trunk/
But that results in myclient going here:
svn://myserver.myhost.com/svnrepo/myclient/trunk/myclient
Is there a way to move the contents of a URL to
another URL? I thought it should work like copying
the files from one directory to another on a
hard-disk, but it doesn't like the "*".
thanks!

Yes, that's all they should need to do.
svn switch \
svn://myserver.myhost.com/svnrepo/trunk/myclient \
svn://myserver.myhost.com/svnrepo/myclient/trunk

Hi Ryan,
This worked great.
If I have users that checked out the repository, and
they have local edits - do they just need to do a "svn
switch" to the new URL?
I don't want them to lose their local work, if
possible.
thanks!

You're right, Subversion doesn't do the *. When using normal cp on
the shell, the * is expanded by the shell, by the way, and the result
of the expansion is sent to the cp program; the cp program itself
does not handle the *.
In other respects, though, using Subversion to copy something should
be similar to using the shell to copy something.
In your case, you have already created /myclient/trunk/ in the
repository. Therefore, your directory is copied into that directory,
rather than replacing the directory (which your standard Unix shell
wouldn't do either). So, to do what you want, first delete trunk in
the repository, then the copy will work.
svn rm -m "Removing empty trunk" \
svn://myserver.myhost.com/svnrepo/myclient/trunk
svn mv -m "Renaming trunk/myclient to myclient/trunk" \
svn://myserver.myhost.com/svnrepo/trunk/myclient \
svn://myserver.myhost.com/svnrepo/myclient/trunk
