And that gives a huge changeset. I would not plan on doing 'svn delete' which would just record a delete transaction but not actually delete anything - but rather using svnadmin (not svn) I would completely remove /trunk from the repository. That would remove all history (metadata?) as well as the source files. I would not try to recreate /trunk from the files alone but rather using Tailor, I can recreate the actual revision history as well as the contents of axiom--silver--1 as an SVN repository with the same changeset history and associated metadata. > > Cannot you setup a local svk depot, import axiom--silver--1 > to it.

That is sort of what I had in mind, but the result would be that the history of the svn /trunk respository would be different than the history of the tla axiom--silver--1 archive.
