Simple svn move question
I'm interested in renaming a couple of branches. Basically I want
Branch-A to become Branch-C and Branch-B to become Branch-A.
Will "svn move" let me do that? From what I see in the book, it appears
that one can only rename stuff inside of a trunk or branch.

Nope, any directory is just like any other directory in the repository.
The fact that we call some "trunk", "branches", and "tags" is just a
convention. Subversion doesn't treat any of these directories specially
in any way. You could rename "trunk" to "hooglefritz" if you wanted,
and Subversion would gladly do it. :-)

Thanks.
Exactly what I was hoping for. I saw the URL -> URL example but didn't
know for sure if there was a limitation as to how far up the tree it could
go.
