At the moment we have all files under https://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/svn/virtio this means we can not create tags or branches since in svn these are sub-directories - and there is no where to put them. The standard calls for this layout: https://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/svn/virtio/trunk https://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/svn/virtio/branches https://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/svn/virtio/tags and each tag/branch is a sub-directory there. This re-arrangement more or less disconnects files from history: you can retrieve all old history before old v1.0, or you can retrieve new history since v1.0, but not both in same local repo or at least not conveniently. > > > > This means it will be slightly trickier to get > > at the pre-move content, if anyone wants to > > see that history. > > > > Specifically one needs to know the exact revision to > > check out. > > Is it possible to add tags or something like that?

That will still work, but you will have to re-create your git tree. -- MST
