Change project name keep history
Is there a way to either copy/merge/move a project from a branch to the
trunk, change its name, and still keep its history? Nothing works for me so
far.
TIA,
GM

If you're using the standard trunk/tags/branches per project layout:
project/trunk
project/branches/newtrunk
do this:
svn mv project/trunk project/branches/oldtrunk
svn mv project/branches/newtrunk project/trunk
It'll probably produce nicer history if you are able to do this on a
working copy of "project" because then you can commit both changes in
one commit and won't have a revision where the trunk is missing. If
you've got too many tags and branches on project for a full checkout
out of project to be feasable, have a look at the --depth option non
checkout and update.

In the subversion there is a tools/client/svnmucc program which is not
built nor installed normally, which, I believe, can be used for your
goal. One of the gurus here (Alan Barrett) suggested I use it to, in
one step, swap a branch and the trunk. It worked for me. See this
e-mail thread:

I must have done something wrong the last times I tried.
Thx,

Copies, moves & renames all preserve history. Why do you think otherwise?

Actually, I simply want to move a project from a branch to the trunk. At
the same time, I want to change the name of the project. When I try to
change the name first then I lose the history. Any more ideas.
Thanks,
GM

That does not keep the history.

Why doesn't:
svn mv /branches/branch/projectA /trunk/projectANewName
work for you?
