Combining Repositories

["Zarikian, Narek S." <NA...@saic.com>]

Hello,

I would like to take three separate repositories and combine them under
one common repository. They will remain in separate areas so there is no
merging, overlap, or overwriting required. Is it as simple as just
moving the repositories around?

A crude visual in case I wasn't clear:

Repo A
Repo B 
Repo C 

into...

Repo D 

 - Folder A
- Folder B
 - Folder C

Thank you... I appreciate it.
Erik

It is explained in the documentation. Search for "SVNParentPath" on  
this page:

It is used for Apache installation to tell the dav_svn module, where to look
for repositories home path, instead of specifying path to each of them
directly.

So to say, you could have configuration similar to this:

<VirtualHost *>
    ServerName www.mydomain.local

    DocumentRoot "C:/home/svn"
    AddDefaultCharset utf-8

    ErrorLog "C:/home/svn/.log/error_log"
    CustomLog "C:/home/svn/.log/access_log" common env=!SVN-ACTION
    CustomLog "C:/home/svn/.log/svn_access_log" svn env=SVN-ACTION


    <Location "/svn">
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from 192.168.1.10

        <IfModule dav_svn_module>
            DAV svn
            SVNParentPath "C:/home/svn"
        </IfModule>

    </Location>
</VirtualHost>

And every repository you create in C:/home/svn (F.e.

  svnadmin create C:/home/svn/mytestrepos

)
Will be accessible through URL
http://www.mydomain.local/svn/mytestrepos

This may be relevant to an issue we have. Please will you expand on how one might use SVNParentPath?

If they are separate repositories, you may go through svnadmin dump for each
of them, then import these dumps back into folders in new repository.

But, honestly, if these are purely separate projects, better not merge repos.
Major issue with this move is that every change in each of these projects will
increase revision number for each of them at commit times.
And it'll be hard to tell, which project it was from just a revision number.

Only usual case for such step I see if you really want to physically join all
these projects, including, as next step after this reinport, folder
rearrangement to better suit the new big project (of what you want to keep
tracking), and future updates causing changes in it as a whole entity.

My advice: Think twice :)
SVNParentPath is what you need most likely.
