Moving a repository

[Brass <br...@brockfarrar.com>]

Is it OK to move an FSFS repository by simply picking up the directory tree
in which the repository resides and moving it to another machine?  Or should
I go through the whole dump/load thing?

This is a local repository, not accesses through SVN or HTTP.

Good.  Thanks.  It's moving from one Win32 machine to another, so I *hope*
none of those differences apply anyway.

It should be just fine.  FSFS is using its own internal format, and the 
format isn't sensitive to CPU endianness, database library versions, 
operating systems, etc.  A file containing FSFS data is universal, just 
like an RCS file.
