True, you do lose your history that way. Not sure if you could do the
following to keep it:
svn co /Microsoft/windows
cd windows
svn mkdir dos
cd ..
svn co /Microsoft/dos
cd dos
cp -R * ../windows/dos
cd ../windows/dos
svn add *
svn ci
Well that might not also keep the history... What you CAN do though is
put a log message that says "Refer to /Microsoft/dos repository for
older history" or something similar.
