Is there a simple way to copy a directory from one repository into another repository with copying all of the history?

SVN is a popular tool for code hosting. It is used to manage different versions of files like source code, documentation and more. It keeps history and project data. Subversion is an open-source tool and comes under the Apache License.
In the main menu, select VCS | Browse VCS Repository | Browse Subversion Repository to open the SVN Repositories tool window. Right-click a directory you want to export and choose Export from the context menu. In the Select Path dialog that opens, specify the destination directory and click OK.
# Clone a repo with standard SVN directory layout (like git clone): git svn clone http://svn.example.com/project --stdlayout --prefix svn/ # Or, if the repo uses a non-standard directory layout: git svn clone http://svn.example.com/project -T tr -b branch -t tag --prefix svn/ # View all branches and tags you have ...
The simplest way is using:
svnadmin dump path/to/repos > repos.out This will create a portable format for your repository (with history) in the file repos.out. You can then use
svnadmin load path/to/newrepos < repos.out to load your 'dumped' repository to the new or existing one.
Chapter 5. Repository Maintenance -> Migrating Repository Data Elsewhere has this note about using svnadmin dump as of version 1.7:
The Subversion repository dump format describes versioned repository changes only. It will not carry any information about uncommitted transactions, user locks on filesystem paths, repository or server configuration customizations (including hook scripts), and so on.
