Moving RISC OS platform files to SVN for StackVM usage

In the Cog branch of the SVN tree there is no directory for RISC OS. I could, of course, simply copy all my files and add/commit them but that seems like a bit brute force to me. I'd prefer to find out that there is a bit of SVN server command magic that will connect up the 'old' files from the plain interpreter branch.

Probably reading that damn great big SVN book would explain it eventually but if there is anyone that already knows how to do it I'd be extremely happy to know the incantation.

`svn copy` retains file history:

Thank you - not just the incantation but a citation for it! I've actually read the book several times but a) a long time ago and b) how often does one need to know anything more than 'co', 'up' & 'ci'?

So it looks like I need to do
svn copy http://squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/trunk/platforms/RiscOS http://squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/branches/Cog/platforms/RiscOS -m "add RISC OS to Cog platforms"

I wonder if it'll be friendly?

Evidently not…

Ian (or perhaps Eliot?) could you please extend permissions for me to do this copy and commit to the Cog platforms/RiscOS & Cross trees?

You can't make a program without broken egos.

Wow. It worked first time and took no time at all to execute. I was anticipating getting a message about it taking X hrs/days for queued up changes to appear - but no; whooosh! Done. When does the extension that will write all your code for you appear?
