Re: Add old history to new directory

Did it disappear, or did someone delete it?

If someone deleted it, you can remerge it back into the head of the
branch/trunk to resurrect it.

What you shouldn't do is recreate the directory. That will cause (if
this was ClearCase) the evil twins effect. That means when you have
two different repository elements in the same name and the same
directory. To Subversion, the two directories are two completely
different elements while to you, they're the same. You might not have
problems now, but if you start trying to do branching and merging,
you'll run into some issues.

Delete the directory if you've recreated it, and then follow
<http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.branchmerge.basicmerging.html#svn.branchmerge.basicmerging.resurrect>
which Andy Levy has already pointed out to you.
