Repairing a repository
Hi
I have one repository, which do not have tags, branches and trunks to start with.
Code was checked in like that.
Now I want to create a branch for the code checked in and I cannot since the structure is not there.
How I can fix my problem?
Please let me know.
Thanks
Modha/-

You do not say what platform you use. On windows I would use
TortoiseSVN's RepoBrowser to create the trunk/tags/branches folders and
move the existing data under trunk. You will need the server running to
be able to do this (if you access through e.g. https:// instead of
file://)! This can be achieved using the command line "svn mv URL URL"
command...
This will cause problems for any working copies ~ lookup the "svn
switch" command, I think that will work but you may be better off doing
a fresh checkout anyway.

Can I create trunk, branches and main directories and move the existing structure under trunk, after shutting down the service.

Hello,

This shouldn't be a problem. The easiest way to do this would be with a
checkout of the existing code. Create a directory called trunk. Then svn move
all the other files and directories into trunk. Then create branches and tags
directory and commit all those changes. By using svn move you retain the
history of the files and directories.
You shouldn't need to shut down anything either. I've done this before but not
with other working copies with modifications so I'm not sure if there will be
issues with merge problems.
