I have two development trees v3.3, and v3.4 in one SVN repository. They both contain a project called test-harness. However, the v3.4 developers have wrecked the test-harness so we need the test-harness from project in v3.3 to overwrite what we have in v3.4. I want to retain the history of change made to 3.4 test-harness as it has some interesting ideas.
I had thought of deleting the 3.4 test-harness folder, then just adding an exported copy of 3.3 test-harness into 3.4, but then I’d lose the v3.4 test-harness history . . .
What is the best way to do this?

    When removing the 3.4 folder and copying the 3.3 folder over it nothing is lost. That’s what subversion is there for. You can access the “old” version 3.4 by using a “peg revision”, i.e. use

    svn ls path:/to/repository/version/3.4@<some old revision>

    to take a look at what the path looked like at that old revision.
