Repository Directory Tree
My subversion repository is in /var/svn. Somehow (and, yes, I'm new; I'm evaluating it), I've wound up with the following directory structure in my subversion repository: /var/svn/ var/svn/proj1 var/svn/proj2 var/svn/proj3. In other words, to do a list of the repositories, I have to do: svn listfile:///var/svn/var/svn to get my projects listed. I've tried to do an svnadmin dump and load with --parent-dir, and that didn't work. This was the command line sequence after I had made a copy of the repository in /var/svn.sav: svnadmin dump /var/svn.sav> old_repos rm -r/var/svn/* svnadmin create /var/svn svnadmin load --parent-dir / /var/svn< old_repos But, even though I had parent-dir as / (to try to eliminate one of the /var/svn's), I still got /var/svn/var/svn/projects. What is the way to do this? TIA, Allen

RE: Repository Directory Tree
I *think* that proj1/2/3 are separate projects inside one repository, but none of those distinctions were very clear to me (I DID read the manual, cover to cover). I certainly understand the concept of the equivalence between a directory and project (I think), but, to me, anyway, it's not clear the distinction between a repository and further directory structure. But now my memory returns: I only created ONE repository, so all those are projects under that repository. Thanks for the response!

RE: Repository Directory Tree
Giulio- Thanks for the help and the idea. I'm traveling right now (hence my intermittent follow-up on this), but will try it ASAP. Seems like a good idea; I will post results one way or another. Thanks again!! Also, I'll be going through the rest of the follow-up emails on this, too. Thanks to all who responded for the help.

The project where imported as var/svn/proj1, var/svn/proj2 and var/svn/proj3. So your projects do live in the var/svn directory in your repository (note there is no / at the beginning so I'm referring to the repository but a directory inside your repository). I would do the following (presuming you're on unix or linux) - check out the whole thing (it might be too big but maybe not) svn checkout file:///var/svn ~/tmp This will create a new directory called tmp in your home directory whit the whole of your repository. Insinde ~/tmp you will have var/svn/proj1, var/svn/proj2 and var/svn/proj3. - move the projects to the root of your repository cd ~/tmp svn move var/svn/proj1 proj1 svn move var/svn/proj2 proj2 svn move var/svn/proj3 proj3 Since you have used svn command the history will be preserved. - commit svn commit -m"Reorganising the projects" Done. Now to see a list of your projects 'svn list file:///var/svn' will be enough. Giulio
