Re: Rearranging archive

Thanks for the response. This I can do. However, what I want is to get
all of the history etc. into the trunk so that it looks like the
repository was created properly to start with. The svn mkdir and mv
commands do not work in the repository itself, only in the working copy.
Is it possible to re-arrange the existing repository and preserve all of
the history/revisions. Something like:

svnadmin dump proj1 > dumpfile
svnadmin create new/proj1_with_trunk
svnadmin load new/proj1_with_trunk < dumpfile

I have tried the above but can't seem to get the job done. Is there a way?

Everything works fine except our project is now to the point where I want to start using tags. Since the archives were created without a 'trunk' I don't have a good way to do this. What I would like to do is fix the archive so that the directory structure looks like the recommended. I have not been able to find a way to move the entire repository into a new directory tree so that the code files are in a 'trunk' directory.
