Hi all,
We on our project are re-organizing the way we store data and as part of
that I need to move an existing folder to a different location.
Say for example right now I have a folder named A in the repository
which has a lot of subfolders and files
Eg.
A
|-----A1
| |------A11
| |------A12
|
|-----A2
|-----A3
I am planning to create a new directory structure where I will be moving
the complete folder A into a new folder called X as shown below
Say
X
|----------A
| |-----A1
| | |------A11
| | |------A12
| |
| |-----A2
| |-----A3
Y
|----------B
|----------C
etc.
My question is how can I go about doing this without disturbing the
history.
As per my understanding simply creating the new folder X using a CVS
client and then copying the folder A on the repository (server) from
/rep_root/A to /rep_root/X/A will work.
I just want a confirmation on whether tags/ branches/ dates or anything
else will be a problem after the move. I will be bringing down the
repository for this time period and obviously will ask everybody to do a
fresh checkout after the move is complete.
Note: I do not have any customized admin files.
Looking forward to your response.
Regards
Aditya
