Modifying repos structure

[jalal <th...@fastmail.fm>]

OK, so I installed subversion, tested it out,  imported a bunch of projects to 
test them, very nice....

But, I didn't think too much about how to structure the repository and now I 
want to make some changes, a little advice would be appreciated.

I started with (simplified):

repos/proj1
------/proj2
------/proj3

and I want to change to:
repos/proj1/trunk/
-------------/tags/
-------------/branch/
etc...

At present repos/proj1/ contains a lot of files and directory structure for 
that project and I want to move the whole set of files and stuff into 
repos/proj1/trunk/.

Whats the easiest way of doing that? 
It seems I want to do 'svn move svn://myserver/repos/proj1/* 
svn://myserver/repos/proj1/trunk/' but 'svn move' seems to only move one file 
at a time.
I guess I could checkout the project, change the directory structure and then 
commit everything but that seems longwinded.

So, whats the simplest way???

TIA

Yes, we have an open issue about making 'svn cp/mv' take more than 2 
arguments.

That would definitely work, but is longwinded.

Hm, I'd try doing a bunch of server-side copies/moves.  Something like

   svn mv proj1 was_proj1
   svn mkdir proj1
   svn mv was_proj1 proj1/trunk
   svn mkdir proj1/branches
   svn mkdir proj1/tags
