Title: Moving to a new SVN repository without losing history
Post by: oiwuernnslkdjf on December 20, 2019, 10:47:25 pm

Morning everyone,

I am trying to figure out what the correct way is to move model files from one SVN repo to another.

Our setup is:

• one *.eap file which serves as Master (everyone is working on copies, using EAs Check-in/Check-out
• one *.xml file for each root node in the model

So far I copied all Enterprise Architect files (.eap, .xml) to the new SVN repo and committed the changes. I updated the Version Control Settings in EA to the new directory (SVN repo) and it works like a charm.

The only gripe that I have is that all our changes (history) are gone now. So my question is how to avoid this?

Thanks!

That is an SVN question, not an EA question.
You have to migrate your SVN repository instead of creating a new one.

The history is not stored in EA, it is part of the SVN repository, and by uploading files into a new repository you left all history in your old repository.
