Altering Revision History with SVN

Question

Some files in my source repository at work were moved around. Rather than performing a "svn mv $file" operation, the files were moved using "svn rm $old_location/$file" and "SVN add $new_location/$file".

Most of the files are named the same, but are now in different directories. Is there a way to add back the revision history using SVN? I have a map of the old file locations to the new file locations, so it would be nice if I could write a script to do this.

Answer 1

Use svnadmin to dump your repository until the revision, in this example 3500, before these unwanted moves took place. Delete the repository and reload the dump file.

svnadmin dump RepositoryURL -r0:3500 > svn.dump
rm URL
svnadmin load RepositoryURL < svn.dump

Answer 2

也可以使用dumpfilter选项执行上述操作。
