Merging two projects in two different repos
I want to take one project from one repo and put it in a directory under another repo. Is it possible to keep the history of said project?
TIA,
Listman

No, but if you don't have file access to the source repository you can
use svnsync to copy it to a location where you do have access. Then you
can svnadmin dump/filter and load to your desired project location. The
dump/filter/load is a one-time process and has the problems of making
your date ranges non-contiguous and changing the revision numbers of the
imported content that have already been mentioned. But, it does let you
put the project where you want and keep the (renumbered) history of changes.

Svnsync does not allow the project/sub-directory in this case to be updated in the future, according to what I read. Is this information incorrect? I have never used svnsync before.
TIA,

That is to say, you can "svnadmin dump" the repo that contains the project now, "svndumpfilter" the dumpfile to extract only that project, and then "svnadmin load" it into the new repository. If you don't have access to the old repository, you can "svnsync" the old repository to a new empty repository on your machine, then "svnadmin dump" that.
Loading the project into the new repository will probably destroy your ability to use dates as revisions in the new repository, because revisions will probably no longer be chronological. To work around that, you can dump the new repository too, and use svndumptool to merge the two dumpfiles with revisions interleaved in chronological order. This will renumber your old revisions though, and everyone will have to check out new working copies of the new repository, and you may not like either of those consequences either.

No, not through the client interface, which is what you use for everyday work.
If you have direct access to the repository, you could use e.g. the dumpfilter
tool to change history retrospectively.
