Move directory
Hi,
I'm just starting with svn, so please be gentle... I followed the book
and created a new repository, and imported some data into
file:///path/project. Then, after reading about the possible layout of a
repository, I decided that I should have imported that data into
file:///path/project/trunk. I tried
svn move file:///path/project file:///path/project/trunk
which didn't work (svn: Cannot move URL 'file:///srv/svn/tst' into
itself) and then
svn move file:///path/project/* file:///path/project/trunk
which also didn't work (svn: Path 'file:///srv/svn/tst/*' does not exist
in revision 1).
So, what is the right way to do this? 'svn list file:///path/project'
does show some files, so there is some data stored there.
Thanks!
Koen

No, I don't think this is a good idea, unless there's a misunderstanding. Just to be sure there's no misunderstanding, I'm going to restate what I think is the original question...
You have a repository, file:///path
You have a working copy, which I'll just assume is ~/workingcopy
You have a subdirectory, "project" which is inside your working copy, and full of a bunch of stuff. So you have a subdir of your working copy, which is associated to a repository URL as follows:
~/workingcopy/project <--> file:///path/project
You realized that you should have created "branches" "tags" and "trunk" for the project.
If you follow what Paul says, you'll end up with something like this...
~/workingcopy/project/trunk <--> file:///path/project
But I think you should do this:
cd ~/workingcopy/project
mkdir trunk
svn add trunk
svn mv * trunk
mkdir branches tags
svn add branches tags
If you follow what I say, you'll end up with something like this...
~/workingcopy/project/trunk <--> file:///path/project/trunk

That seems to work just fine; thanks!

Try it in steps:
1. rename "project" to "foo"
2. mkdir "project"
3. rename "foo" to "project/trunk"
