Yes, but some people don't correctly use the terms "repository" and "working-copy" calling WC the repository most often on these lists. > > I use a repo for each project for this reason and many others.

I think there is also a section in the docs that discusses it. Yep, here it is: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn-book.html#svn.reposadmin.planning BOb

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 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. -Martin

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

This will preserve the history. But can you explain what you mean by "all previous check-ins should still be accessible"? Once you have moved "hello", that won't be accessible in the HEAD revision. G

Thanks for every hint in advance. Kind regards, Dennis Dennis, Simply rename the repository on the svn server. Then check out from the new name, or use svn switch --relocate to switch existing working copies to the new location.
