Long ago, an engineer created a TortoiseSVN repo on a PC that is not connected to any network. The entire installation was local to that PC. To my knowledge, the repo was never accessed by any other user. I do not have the engineer’s password. The auth directory is empty – there are no cached credentials.

I now need to access this repo.

Question: Should I just abandon the repo, create a new one and import the files that we assume were associated with the original repo…or is there a solution that would allow me to retain all the old data and history?

Thanks

    If it is repo, created in SomeDir by TSVN command “Create repository here” you can copy this Somedir whole directory into any location and get access to stored data using file:/// protocol (checkout from client, create portable dump with svnadmin).
