Hi subversion list!
I would like to move a whole project to another name. Let's say, I
have
the project right now with a name called "hello", and I would like
to
move its name to "world", which commands would I have to issue?
Afterwards each user should be able to check it out with this new
name
"world", not anymore with the repository-name "hello".
Oh, and by the way all previous check-ins should still be
accessible, so
I don't want to create a new repository and copy all files and
afterwards delete the old one, but simply rename it.
Thanks for every hint in advance.
Do you want to rename a "project" which I take to mean a folder in your
repository. Or do you want to rename the repository?

Bob,
I figured he uses a repo for each project like I do. The subject line says "Rename
svn-repository".
I use a repo for each project for this reason and many others. I have found that so many
of the problems that people have with some of the more complicated svn commands don't
exist with project specifc repos. Perhaps the biggest benefit is that the
"global" revision numbers become a non-issue. I have never had any problems
with merging trunk to branch or branch to trunk and I still use the techniques that were
reccomended back in 1.1.
I would like to see a discussion of the pros and cons of single repo vs.
project specific repos.
