Archive old files

Question

I am new to SVN. I have a lot of old, unused files that I want to archive or copy to a different repository or directory. How can I archive these files and keep the history of their revisions?

Answer 1

• svn move if you want them in a different directory. You can sill access the file's history.
• svn delete if you want some kind of archive. It's there in the older revision but they're gone in newer ones. Of course, the file's history is untouched.
