I had a HDD with SVN repositories and it 'died'. Until I managed to recover it, I created new repositories on another HDD and committed all the files to the new repositories starting from revision 1 and losing all history.
Now that I have recovered the old SVN repositories, I am trying to load the new repositories that I was working on in the meantime into the old repositories, so basically revision 1 of new repository must become revision 2456 of the old repository.
When I'm running the svnadmin load
command I'm getting the following error:
<<< Started new transaction, based on original revision 1
* adding path : ---------------- ...svnadmin: File already exists: filesystem 'C:\
Repositories\repname\db', transaction '2788-25k', path '----------------'
Any idea how I can 'merge' them? If it's even possible, of course...
