Question

So here is what I would like to do:

Check out a untracked copy of the code framework using something like this

svn export http://svnrepo/project/framework/tags/1.0.2/ . --force

now I would like to create a new branch in another repo but how?

Do I use svn import, svn add?

So this is where I would like to store it:

svn ci http://svnrepo/newproject/branches/new_feature/

Suggestions?

Solution:

this works for me

Initial Checkout without svn history

svn export http://svnrepo/project/framework/tags/1.0.2/ . --force

Create the branches directory

svn mkdir http://svnrepo/newproject/branches/new_feature/

Checkout empty branch

svn co http://svnrepo/newproject/branches/new_feature/ .

Add exported project

svn add *

Check in export into new branch

svn commit -m "export to new branch committed"

Answer 1

export is mistake – you can’t commit not from WC, Working Copy is result of checkout.

You may have UUID-trouble on commit, but you can at least to try

svn co OLD-URL
svn mkdir NEW-URL 
svn relocate NEW-URL
svn ci

Version with history-lost

svn export OLD-URL WC1
svn mkdir NEW-URL
svn co NEW-URL WC2

copy files from WC1 to (empty) WC2

cd WC2
svn add
svn ci
