Moving folder to another rep
Hi all,
How can I move my application from one rep to another, maintaining all
the revision history, i.e., not starting from rev. 0 in the new
repository?
Regards,

Actually, svk works exceptionally well for things this.

That's harder. I think you can do it with svk: make a local copy of
the repository, and then load the changes from that, but that isn't
really the way svk is designed to be used, so maybe not.
Or you could write a horrible script to update from one repos, rsync to
a working copy checked out from the other, and commit: but I wouldn't
try that.
I think you'll need help from your department's admin. And you should
expect revision numbers to change, so log messages will refer to the
wrong revs.
Why not just set up a repository in your own account? There isn't a lot
of advantage to having a lot of different projects in one repository.
The only ones I can think of is that it makes it easy to copy code from
one to another, and backup is a bit simpler.

Ryan and Duncan, it seems to be you're both assuming I'm the admin of
the svn repository, right?
However, I'm not. I have a project at sourceforge and I would like to
move it to my departments repository. I'm obviously not admin in any
of them.
Any way to do this?

You would "svnadmin dump" the data out of the old repository into a
dumpfile. If the old repository also contains other things that you
don't want to import into the new repository, you would
"svndumpfilter" them out. Then you would "svnadmin load" the filtered
dumpfile into the new repository.

You want to create a new repository containing nothing but this one
application? Then svnadmin dump, svndumpfilter, svnadmin create,
svnadmin load should do it (with the right details).
If you want to load it into an existing repository, you can dump, filter
and load, but the rev numbers will change.
