Hello Robert,
The best way to help you is to checkout your old version into any path,
then move the .svn folder to your new location.
For instance, let's say that on your first machine, you had folder
/usr/local/httpd/conf under revision control. After reformatting, you
install Apache again, and now you want your httpd.conf to be stored in
your repos. Do the following sequence:
$ pwd
/tmp
$ svn checkout file:///path/to/repos/path/to/httpd/conf/root
$ mv root/.svn /usr/local/httpd/conf
$ cd /usr/local/httpd/conf
$ svn status
M httpd.conf
Hope that helps,
François
