RE: copying versioned files between dirs within a repository

ben...

that's kind of what i was starting to lean towards... that i'll have to
create some form of app/script that iterates through the repository,
grabbing the required files:versions, placing them into a 'working copy' and
then uploading/copying the 'working copy' files into the tagged dir...

this should work as i should already have a list of the valid revisions for
the files...

thanks

-bruce

Normally you create a tag by running 'svn cp [-r X] URL1 URL2'.

If you want to build a tree of very specific versions of files, then you
have to do it in a working copy. Use 'svn up -r X foo.c' on each file
and directory, then 'svn copy working-copy URL'.

Discussed here, in the 'tags' section of chapter 4:

'svn cp -r X URL1 URL2', or 'svn cp -r X URL working-copy; svn commit'
