Moving files and directories around in Subversion
I’ve made an architecture change to the new AuroraCMS development. It’s going to be easiest to move the current source tree to another directory (aurora2-old) so that I can still reference the code via Trac but I don’t want it to be the AuroraCMS 2 mainline.
I used the following Subversion command to move files on a remove repository, without having to check everything out, svn mv the files locally and then check them back in:
svn mv https://<server>/aurora2 \
https://<server>/aurora2-old \
-m "Move reason..."
It makes complete sense that you can move files around remotely, but I’m still happy that it worked as I expected.
