RE: how to completely replace the trunk of a repo with one of its branches?

Hi Reuben,
 
I am sure you would have thought of this, but the easiest way and to
keeping with the concept of trunk I would do the following.
 
svn co trunk trunk-wc
svn del everything under trunk-wc
svn commit trunk-wc
 
svn co branch branch-wc
svn switch branch-wc to trunk
svn commit
 
This should make your branch identical to trunk
 
Thanks
Lakshman

Subject: how to completely replace the trunk of a repo with one of its

hi all,
strange thing to do, I know.. I have a branch of my project that is so
very different now from its old trunk and there is absolutely nothing in
the trunk which I wish to merge with what is in the branch -- i just
want it to be there for historical purposes.

anyone have a quick tip on this?

thank you :) :)
