Replacing trunk with branch in Subversion

Question

Let\'s say people have been working on the trunk and on a branch of a Subversion repository. I want to discard any changes on the trunk, and replace it with a copy of the br

Answer 1

Though its a pretty old thread but still sharing my experience

We recently did this for one of our projects and followed guidelines as:

svn copy   -m "copied old trunk as tag"

svn delete  -m "deleted trunk temporarily"

svn copy   -m "placed new trunk with features"

Following these steps kept the trunk history intact and replace the new feature branch as trunk.
