moving a directory to it's subdirectory

I'd like to create a trunk directory in my repository. I tried this:

nick@rilmir:~$ svn move  svn://fly.srk.fer.hr/freediary/ svn://
fly.srk.fer.hr/freediary/trunk
svn: Cannot move URL 'svn://fly.srk.fer.hr/freediary' into itself

Now, this doesn't work... Soooo, how do I do that? :-D

Thanks in advance for all the help!

Move the *contents* of the root into trunk.

You can create a trunk directory on your local machine and import it into your repository.

I am assuming the freediary is the name of your repository rather than a folder name? If so, you should be able to:

svn mkdir svn://fly.srk.fer.hr/freediary/trunk
