I have a SVN structure like this:

/Projects     /Project1     /Project2 /someFolder     /Project3     /Project4 

I would like to move all the projects into the /Projects folder, which means I want to move Projects 3 and 4 from /someFolder into the /projects folder.

The caveat: I’d like to keep the full history. I assume that every client would have to check out the stuff from the new location again, which is fine, but I still wonder what the simplest approach is to move directories without completely destroying the history?

Subversion 1.5 if that matters.
