moving the trunk

["Focas, Mark" <Ma...@det.nsw.edu.au>]

Hi
I have a repository layout following one of the recommendations, it looks (abbreviated) like this

-Project1
    |-Trunk
    |-Branches
    |-Tags
-Project2
    |-Trunk
    |-Branches
    |-Tags

etc

I want to change it to the following format:

Solution
    |-Trunk
        |-Project1
        |-Project2
    |-Branches
    |-Tags

etc

I used svn move to move the folders in the repository, and checked out a new working copy, but now when I try to do a diff on files, it can't locate the files before the move.

Is there a way to reorganise the repository and keep the history? It seems from reading the documentation that the move should work, and the history is retained, but doing the diff just doesn't work.

Thanks,

The history isn't lost.  'svn diff' just isn't asking for it.  See this
FAQ for a workaround:

http://subversion.tigris.org/project_faq.html#no-copy-history

And this bug (issue #1093) is fixed in svn 1.1.
