I realize this might be an easy question that I may have overlooked in the documentation, but I didn't find any other questions like this.
When I move a file, or in my case a whole ton of files (I moving everything into trunk from repo root) do I lose revision history? My thought is it looks a lot like it's deleting and adding files and I would therefore lose history. Thoughts?
No.
svn move is equivalent to svn copy, and then svn delete. Copied files share their history with the originals.
You won't lose anything:
From svn help mv:
Note: this subcommand is equivalent to a 'copy' and 'delete'.
Therefore, from svn help copy:
copy (cp): Duplicate something in working copy or repository, remembering history.
If you remembered to use svn mv then history will be preserved.
But if you manually worked with cp, svn delete and svn add then history will not be preserved.
