Hi there, my situation is as follows: there's a large svn repository svn+ssh://someserver/reps/maindir/ I only work with the subdirectory svn+ssh://someserver/reps/maindir/old_dir/foobar/what_I_work_with
such that I used to check it out with svn co svn+ssh://someserver/reps/maindir/old_dir/foobar/what_I_work_with what_I_work_with got moved by the maintainers of the main repository in revision r123456 to svn+ssh://someserver/reps/maindir/new_dir/foobar/what_I_work_with now I can check it out with svn co svn+ssh://someserver/reps/maindir/new_dir/foobar/what_I_work_with in newlocation, commands like "svn log", "svn blame", ... still work, I see commit messages from before r123456 and changes from r900 are correctly reported by svn blame. what does not work is cd what_I_work_with svn up -r900 since maindir/new_dir/foobar/what_I_work_with doesn't exist in r900. Also the alternate approach checking out what_I_work_with doesn't work since the directory doesn't exist in the trunk svn co svn+ssh://someserver/reps/maindir/old_dir/foobar/what_I_work_with neither did switching work: cd what_I_work_with svn switch ..../old_dir/... Also, I'm hesitant to check out svn+ssh://someserver/reps/maindir due to the large overhead of stuff in there which I don't need (in fact I found it a strong part of svn that subdirectories of a repository are repositories themselves). Is there any way to check out or update to revision r900? Thanks, Paul
