Moving a large number of tags in one revision?

[Marc Sherman <ms...@projectile.ca>]

Our repository currently contains a large number of build tags in the 
/tags directory.  These were automatically created by anthill, and 
migrated into our new svn repository using cvs2svn.  When I reconfigured 
anthill for the new svn server, I set it up to create new build tags 
within /tags/builds, just to keep things organized.  Now, I'd like to 
move the old tags from before that change into the builds subdir, too.

Is there any way to move a large number of tags in a single revision? 
Here's a few ideas I had that didn't work:

1) wildcards don't work on urls:
svn mv http://server/repo/tags/v_* http://server/repo/tags/builds -m 
"cleanup tags"

2) I tried checking out a non-recursive working copy of the tags dir, 
and then within that a non-recursive working copy of each of the 
individual tags using a script, and then using "svn mv v_1.0.0.1 builds" 
within the working copy.  That gave me an error because as far as svn is 
concerned, there's no connection between the tags WC and the individual 
tag WCs within them.

3) Checking out a full WC of the tags dir is not possible, the tree 
would just be too huge.

Any suggestions?  Or am I stuck with a script to move each tag one 
revision at a time using individual URL-based svn mv commands?

Thanks,
- Marc

That simply means it was committed to trunk sometime after the 1.2  
release branch was born.  But APIs are APIs, it's not using any new  
1.3 APIs.

Thanks, Ben.  Is that compatible with svn 1.2.1?  The file doesn't exist 
in the 1.2.x branch.

You could also try the rsvn python script:

https://opensvn.csie.org/traccgi/rsvn/trac.cgi/wiki

I had some problems with the version I downloaded (revision 18) but I
think I found the issue and added a modified version as an attachment to
the wiki front page. That modded version works very well for me.

Cheers,
Raman
