Hi David,

Thanks for your response. Would this work if each of the projects in
our file system have been created with svnadmin create <project name>.
That is to say, I want to make
"sub-directory-that's-becoming-a-project" into a:

svnadmin create sub-directory-that's-becoming-a-project

but maintain its history somehow.

Jon
