svnadminfilter

[claudia logan <cv...@yahoo.com>]

    All,
  I am trying to restructure my repositories without loosing important history.  I have one repository structured: 
   
  Project A  with related
  /branches, 
  /trunks, 
  /tags 
   
  We have found that out of our branch a new project needs to begin plus we need to restructure due to common libraries, so I have created a separate repository with the following layout:
   
  Program Z:
  /trunk/project_1
  /trunk/project_2
  /trunk/project_3
   
  /branches/project_1
    /branches/project_2
    /branches/project_3


   
  ...etc
   
  How do I move all history that is currently in the Project A/branch area to now under Program Z/trunk/Project_2?
   
  I have tried the svnadmin dump, and the svnadmin filter (sp?). And is not quite working...Help!

I guess you mean "svndumpfilter" since there is no "svnadmin filter",  
but I don't think you need that at all. I think you just need to  
"svnadmin dump" the Project A repository and "svnadmin load" it into  
the Program Z repository, probably using the "--parent-dir" argument.  
Import Project A anywhere within the Program Z repository. Then check  
out a working copy and use normal "svn mv" commands to rearrange it  
to suit you.

If you frequently find yourself needing to combine projects like  
this, you'll probably find it easier if you just put all the projects  
into a single repository to start with.
