Question about 'svn move' and commit behaviour in the repository.

Hi all,

Sorry, in case it is answered before, but could not find by googling.  I'm
running Subversion 1.6.1 with apache httpd 2.2.11 with LDAP on CentOS 5.x.
I have following structure of the repository named MyRepo :

/trunk
   - folderA/
   - folderB/
   - folderC/


/trunk has these three folders. What I did was created a WC of /trunk and
run the following command to move "folderA" into "folderC"  :

svn move http://myserver.mydomain.com/svn/MyRepo/folderA
http://myserver.mydomain.com/svn/MyRepo/folderC -m "folderA moved to
folderC"

and command run successfully and new revision committed in the repository.
I checked in the repository and folder it moved, but when I right click and
show log of that folder it says folder does not exist but TortoiseSVN Repo
browser shows that folder is moved and it is visible.

 http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.6/svn.ref.svn.c.move.html says that it is
possible to move WC--> WC and URL-->URL.  But i'm not sure if I'm missing
something here?

Does URL-->URL move retain the history too ?

Can someobdy point as to what is wrong here?

Thanks.
RR

  Thanks Ryan, I have read the book and it says URL-->URL and it happened
directly in the repository. But can not see it!

  I have updated the WC but still it does not show the changes / commit.

Right, and important to understand: you didn't even need to have a working copy to do that. Because you used URLs to the repository, the copy happened directly in the repository.

Your working copy is out of date. Update it.

 Right clicked using in repository using TortoiseSVN .. on the folder which
was newly added, also after updating the WC I also tried to see the log but
it does not show me new added folder and its history.
 Different options "include merged revisions" and all other options tried
but same result.

Where did you right click to show the log, in the WC, before or after
running update or in the repo browser? What are the settings about
ignoring paths etc. in the log dialog?

Does URL-->>URL move retain the history too ?

Yes.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
