If you going to tackle this, I would suggest to start with moving C stuff to its own directory. This has been wanted for a long time: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2001-11/msg00908.html This still may need some testing. Subversion renaming support is not perfect and it may make more difficult subsequent merges: http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=898 In the case a branch modifies the files moved in trunk, merge will not transfer the changes to the new location and in some cases it may lose the changes in the branch: http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2685 Cheers, Manuel.
