Is it possible to do a svn cp from one repository into another?

[Steve Constable <st...@hotmail.com>]

I want to manage several IPs that are ultimately brought together into one
project.
I was thinking of setting up one repository for each project and then doing
a 'svn cp /someIPx/ . ' for each IP that I want to integrate into the
project.
But when I tried this in TortiseSVN, I got some error about the repositories
being different.
I noticed that when I copy into a /release directory, that there is a
history kept of what was copied and to where-which I really like. But maybe
this isn't possible across repositories since SVN may not talk across repos?
Is there an other way of doing the same thing? Or do I have to use a single
repo to do this?
Thanks for any suggestions.
-Steve

No, you can't svn cp between repositories.

Would externals work for you?

Otherwise, yes, you'll have to have everything in one repository.
