Within the svn-book and other places, it is always suggested that you
start a fresh new repository before combining multiple repositories.
Is there something dangerous about adding another repository to an
older repository? What happens with the version numbers? Would the
version numbers add to each other? So if one is on version 25 and the
other on 15, the whole repo would be on version 40? I'm hesitating to
try things first (ask questions later) because these commands are
'svnadmin' commands.
The reason I ask is because in my particular situation I'd like to
turn one repository into a branch of another without losing the
history.
I'm not entirely sure this is possible or even a good idea though.
