Re: delete/wipe out repositories (from the database)?

Hi KM,

yeah, that's really easy and I did that before myself (deleting the
directories, no prob). But: when I imported the projects from eclipse
lately there was no directory created, I spent a while to find something
named even similar to an expected directory name but could not find
anything.

I asked my provider (I run the svnserve on a managed box) and the answer
was that all repositories are stored in a database - that's why I asked
how I can completely delete the DB without destorying the installation.
Leads me to another question: maybe eclipse/subclipse only created
folders and not real repositories?

Seems the situation is a bit weird or - more likely - I am missing some
information.

Any more ideas?

Thanks,

Henning
