Copy data from one repos to another and history should not be losed

Hi All,

We have two repositories names as  : bmrepos and bmdevrepos. 
We want to copy/add data from bmrepos to bmdevrepos but history should not
losed.

Note: bpmrepos already have some contents.


Regards,
Chetan

But watch out: the dates in the revisions will not be linear afterwards, so searching for revisions by date will not work any more. (AFAIK)

Cheers,

That's right. If that's a concern, dump both repositories, merge them together interlacing their revisions in chronological order, and load them into a third new repository. This is one of the tasks the svndumptool script can help you accomplish.

Yes, you can do this with "svnadmin dump" and "svnadmin load".
