For migration (with history) of all languages in one time, see : http://lists.parrot.org/pipermail/parrot-dev/2009-February/001631.html But svnadmin is a command on server side. Needs a sysadmin.
I debated whether to preserve the revision history of Punie through various SVN hackery, and decided it was preferable (cleaner, safer) to treat it as an 'svn move', where the revision history still exists in the original location, but isn't duplicated in the new location.
svndumpfilter is finicky, and text substitutions on a dump file are error-prone. And, getting the revision history for just the handful of languages we want is trickier than getting the whole languages/ directory. That is to say, it's a messy process, with a high risk of failure.
But, given the alternative is manually moving some 20 language directories and losing easy access to revision history, it's worth experimenting. Will let you know the result.
We do have the advantage that the languages/ directory has had relatively little movement over the years.
