It does not let you strip out leading directories from the dump. I would just use "svn mv" to move proj1 thru 3 up two levels, then "svn rm" to remove the unwanted var. Alternately, if you insist on purging all record of this mistake from the repository's history, you can fiddle with something like svndumptool.

RE: Repository Directory Tree
I *think* that proj1/2/3 are separate projects inside one repository, but none of those distinctions were very clear to me (I DID read the manual, cover to cover). I certainly understand the concept of the equivalence between a directory and project (I think), but, to me, anyway, it's not clear the distinction between a repository and further directory structure. But now my memory returns: I only created ONE repository, so all those are projects under that repository. Thanks for the response!

Oops! Sorry- should ALWAYS RTFM!! I used " svn up NetDataSvc --force", and it *seemed* to work!

I don't know whether that was what you should have done. Maybe, or maybe not. Only you can be the judge of that, because you know what was in that directory before you check your working copy out.

For complicated rearrangements I would prefere the WC method myself, because I can revert/redo as long as I want until I'm satisfied - before commiting. -- Lorenz

I'm also active on another mailing list regarding dovecot where you are *supposed* to top post. Again maybe I should have RTFM'd! OK- I think I understand. What the directory had in it was a copy of what I put into the repository; I hadn't made any changes since it went it went in, so it should be fine. All other directories similarly; so, if I understand correctly, if I delete them all first or just use --force to check them out, it should be the same. Thanks a bunch- Allen
