Task at hand:
Copy a directory from within one SVN repository to another

Assumptions:
- Tortoise SVN as SVN client
- The two SVN repositories – being copied from and being copied to already exist

Steps:
1. Right click SVN bound directory that you with to copy. Choose tortoise SVN -> Export.
2. Specify path to an empty folder e.g. “c:\to_add”. Click on OK.
3. Now you have the SVN bound directory contents in this new directory “to_add”.
4. Right click on “to_add” and choose tortoise svn -> add
5. Specify path to the new repository and location inside it.
6. Right click on “to_add” and choose SVN Commit to make your changes permanent.

Voila !! You are done.
