How to change an old commits user to a new one in RapidSVN?

Question

I am using RapidSVN and did some commits including the creation of folders using a user account which I have since deleted, how can I change these so they are assigned to my new user account?

Answer 1

Not sure if RapidSVN can handle this, but on the command line you'd use svn propedit

svn propedit svn:author --revprop -r REVISION_NUMBER URL_TO_REPOSITORY

But you'll also need a pre-revprop-change hook script which returns a zero exit code to enable it. Your repository admin will need to set that up.
