RE: svn move

As far as I know, you can't move the project root. You'll have to move
each file in the root one at a time. If your repository is new and
contains few revisions, you might save time and effort by exporting its
contents to the filesystem with 'svn export', restructure it with move
and copy commands, and then import this new structure with 'svn import'
into a new repository.

If I try to

svn move -m "message" file:///var/svn/project/ \
file:///var/svn/project/trunk

I get the follwoing message (regardless whether I create
"/var/svn/project/trunk" or not):

svn: Cannot move URL 'file:///var/svn/db2latex-howto' into itself
