If you do it that way, it will appear to Subversion (and yourself later, when you review the history) as though you created the directory an all its contents in revision 11. It will be completely disconnected from its previous history in the repository. "svn log" on this new directory will only go back to revision 11. "svn blame" will show it was created in revision 11. This is probably not what you want. You probably want to bring the directory back from the past, linked with all its prior history. To do that, instead copy it from its prior repository location with svn cp: cd /path/to/workingcopy/gnwd/notes/svn svn cp https://pl3.projectlocker.com/gnwd/notes/svn/a_dir@9 . # test, test, test svn ci -m "resurrecting a_dir from revision 9"

If your repo is at -r 10 now but the folder existed at -r 9, do something like: #> cd /other/dir #> svn export https://pl3.projectlocker.com/gnwd/notes/svn -r 9 svn Exported revision 9 now you will have a new svn folder at /other/dir/svn, you can then copy the a_dir inside there back to your working copy and commit it back to the repository cp svn/a_dir /path/to/workingcopy/gnwd/notes/svn/ now if you cd to your working copy dir and do a svn status, you can see these a_dir files are just a new unversioned directory #> cd /path/to/workingcopy/gnwd/notes/svn #> svn add a_dir A foo.c A bar.c etc #> svn commit -m "Restored a_dir" Committed revision 11.
