Re: Creating a new SVN Projects from Directories in Another SVN Project

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.
