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
