Re: Give us instructions to create a new repository with the branch code of a old repository

Dear All,

Thank you for the support.

Initially, i have tried the copy command with the revision range (i.e. -r
1:898). But i got the error "Revision range is not allowed for copy". So, i
tried to create the branch using merge.

I have used the command,
*svn merge -r 1:898 trunk/ branches/branch1/*

The above command merged all the files to the empty branch folder for the
revision 898. Then i made a commit to add these files to the repository.

The above command fixed my need and all the revision history is maintained
too.

But i don't know whether it is a proper way of creating a branch or not and
whether it will cause any future problems.
Can any one tell me whether the way i have followed is correct or
not.........!
