RE: issue regarding trying to add older log files to a new repository from an old one with different url

To all,

First off thank you for the responses and sorry for the confusion. I did a
little more reading and yes you are correct that it's the .svn file and
working copy I am referring to. I do apologize for the confusion.

To explain better what I need to do if possible, is retrieve all the
revision changes made to the working copy while they were tied to the old
repository and be able to display those in the log output screen.

To recreate the steps I used here is an example:

1. Working copy name is "directory" and it was previously tied to the old
repository and a person could view the log history of revisions for any
file.

2. The person then moves "directory" (with .svn file) over to a new server.

3. Person created new repository from files of the directory working copy
with the same name on new server but uses the svn protocol versus the http
which was the url protocol on the old repository.

4. Now the new repository is working like a charm, but now when you click
on the "directory" folder I only see the new changes from the new repository
and doesn't include the revisions from the old working copy.

My question is it possible to retrieve those old revisions from the svn
directory of the working copy.

Thanks
Mike

You seem to be using the terms 'repository' when you possibly mean
'working copy'. The repository does not contain .svn files. If you can
clarify which you mean, maybe we can help you.
