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

Hi All,

With all your suggestion i am able to get our required folder(tree)
structure in the repository with the same revision history maintained.

Here is the repositories old tree structure
Project [913]
  /trunk [346] <--> workspace1
  /branches
    /branch1 [913] <--> workspace2

Here is the repositories new tree structure (after we made changes)
 Project
   /trunk [915] {branch of old tree is now trunk here}
   /branches
     /branch1 [917] {totally new branch copied up to head revision}
     /branch2 [918] {totally new branch copied up to 898 revision}

We have 2 workspaces, among them one refers to the trunk and another to
branch1 of old repository.

Now with our new changes, we want to relocate our

   - workspace1 to point to the new branch1
   - workspace2 to point to the new branch2
   - workspace3 to point to the trunk

We have tried using the *svn switch --relocate* command to make the required
location changes.
But we are getting an error "*svn: Relocate can only change the repository
part of an URL*"

How could we achieve this with out having checkouts of new workspaces.

Please anyone help me in getting the solution for above one.

Thanks in advance.
