Question

svn move URL URL

and save hishory?

There http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/re07.html and there http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/re18.html saids about copy/move folder with history as WC WC only, is it true?

Client v1.7, Server v1.6, move and copy within single repository.

Answer 1

Yes, but only within the same repository. You can type svn help copy to check that.

Answer 2

Sorry, i can't tell you the SVN command line commands, but after copy of the file and commit you see in TortoiseSVN / "Show Log" the full history.

You can check "Stop on copy/rename" in the log Messages window if you want to avoid this.
