How to move folder from one path to another along with all revisions

[Mohsin <mo...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Suppose I have one folder in Repo1 (http://abc.com/SVN/Repo1/folder1) and I
have moved that folder to some new path which is (http://abc.com/SVN/Repo1).
Point is I want to move that folder along with all its revisions to new path
when i check history of that folder there should be all revisions instead of
one revision. Can someone tell how can i move folder along with all its
revisions to new path ?



Regards
Mohsin Abbas

There are a number of underlying reasons for this. It's partly that
the "mv" command isn't really a "mv", it's a "copy, then delete the
old one", and subversion does not discard history of deleted content.
This can actually cause fascinating problems trying to trace the
history of things.

If I may suggest, for bulky changes such as re-arranging a source
tree? Don't use "svn mv". Do it as several distinct transactions, one
an "svn tag" to record the old layout, then an "svn copy", then "svn
rm", then "svn tag" aagin to record the new layout for reference. This
can help reflect the transaction, and allow much easier historical
analysis.

_All_ svn copies and moves retain the revision history of the
contents.  That's how branches and tags work, but it also applies to
any other copies.  You can use a url->url copy or check out the
directory above and 'svn copy' in the workspace before committing back
with the same result.   Also note that even if you move a path, it can
still be accessed at it's previous path and revisions using the peg
syntax:  path@revision.

When using the Tortoise SVN client i would open RepoBrowser
and move it in the repo. I am not sure if that will preserve history but it's the most powerful thing I am aware of.

This is the whole purpose of the svn mv-command. The history is kept if 
you use that command. Or am I getting your question wrong?

svn mv/cp *retains* *all* *history*, as mentioned in TFM you were linked to.

If it makes you feel better, you can use "svn rename" instead.

Thanks but my second question was how do i move folder to new path with all
its revision history ? Is it possible or we can't do this ? Actually moving
folder to new path is easy but question is moving folder with all its
history revisions to new path too.
