reorganize svn repository

Question

I created svn repositories, without worrying about branches, etc. Now, I want to create branch. This question says I can create branch by copying. However, as I do not have trunk/branches folder, whats the right way /commands to reorganize the directories?

Answer 1

First, create and check in a folder named trunk, move all your files and folders to the trunk folder with svn move. If you have TortoiseSVN you can move with the repository browser.

Then create a folder named branches and one named tags and you should be back on track with a standard layout.

There is nothing special with trunk, tags and branches, it is just a naming convention.
