Question

I created a local SVN repo (called, simply enough, svnrep) to learn version control the Subversion way. I’m cleaning up my folder structure and I want to move the repo, while keeping it local. I have just one project (named, simply enough, project1), and it is checked out.

I want to 1) delete the checked out version of project1; 2) delete project1 inside svnrep; and 3) move svnrep from one directory to another.

From searching on Stack Overflow and elsewhere, I gather that I will be using svn export and svnadmin dump, but I am nervous moving forward without explicit instructions that match my situation. I’d be very grateful for any assistance.

If it’s local, no need:

1. Move the repo to the desired location (just move the directory, no fancy stuff needed)
2. Point your checkout to that location with svn switch --relocate oldpath TO newpath.
