I think a copy would have been best. There is content in the sys/foo.h files 
still that has valid history (not all the lines were moved). Even if you had 
moved it all, I think a copy would still be best. I would only use a move 
if you are completely removing the original file. I'm not sure if there's a 
non-unfun way to recover from this. You might be able to copy the files from 
the previous revision, reapply your changes and then commit that. 
Ok. I’ll work on recovering the history of the original files.

Maybe the repo masters can undo/delete the commit easily and I’ll just 
recommit. Avoids polluting the history…



I'll keep an eye out for my svn -> p4 mirror importer exploding in that area in 
the near future.
this sort of thing makes it very ill, especially files going away and coming 
back.
I just asked svnadm@ for advice. I’m sure they can suggest a way that doesn’t 
blow things up downstream consumers. I’m fine with the manual labor if that’s 
preferred...



I run a svn-> P4 imoprter that is importign at 1:1..  so change 300000 in SVN 
is 300000 in p4.
If we end up making extra or missing revisions, I'll lose that 1:1 feature 
..e.g.  if 350000 in svn maps to 350001  or 349999 in p4 that's  a lot less 
useful to me..
I’ll keep that in mind. If svnadm@ has no strong opinions, I’ll manually fix it 
up using commits.

Thanks for the info,
