converting a file to a directory

[Kenny Leung <ke...@pobox.com>]

Hi All.

I have a file in a repository that I would like to change into a  
directory. I figure I can do this by deleting the file, then adding a  
directory with the same name. Is this something I can safely do, or  
should I stay away from this?

Thanks!

Go right ahead; I don't see why this should be a problem.

Pretty sure it's safe, yep, although you might want to do the delete &
mkdir as separate commits to reduce confusion a bit.

It might cause a little weirdness if you're looking through the history,
but it shouldn't bother SVN itself.
