How to move separate Repository to be a project to other Repository


We use SVN Repository with last versions of VisualSVN Server and TortoiseSVN. I need your help to change our Repository structure.

We have separate repositories WBR3FFT and Altera (see Figure 1).

We need to move WBR3FFT to be below Altera repository (see Figure 2). We need to move it with all its tags folder structure(shown in Figure 1). History log is not so important. I tried that with dump/load or backup/restore but without success.

Solution

  • You could try svnadmin load with the --parent-dir option. I.e., generate a dump of WBR3FFT and load it into Altera's subdir.

    Update #1:

    The command should be as follows:

    svnadmin load Altera --parent-dir /WBR3FFT -M 256 --file WBR3FFT_dump.txt
    

    Note that you need to create an empty directory WBR3FFT before running this command.
