hi eric,
that is the issue, new branch created from old location is
having the old path in svn log,i want it to point it to newly
created branch path
for example there is svn old branch //depot/a/a.txt
now if i create branch //depot/b from old branch
it will have a.txt in b branch..but when i go to
//depot/b/a.txt and at GUI of SVN..do right click and select
show log option..it shows history of changes done in a.txt but
in path section it still shows //depot/a/a.txt instead of
//depot/b/a.txt..now if old branch gets deleted..this history
will be irrelevant for me
requirement is to move a/a.txt to new location b/a.txt with
history retained and that history should have changes pointing
to new location b/a.txt not a/a.txt
i hope now u understand my issue
