Subversion Migration Issue
Sirisha Meda (WT01 - BANKING & FINANCIAL SERVICES)
I sucessfully migrated one clearcase directory to SVN repo with the help of
load_svn_dirs.pl script.
To the same SVN repo, when I tried to migrate second directory then
load_svn_dirs.pl script deleted first directory elements in trunk and migrated
second directory elements.
In HEAD, I can see only second directory elements but in old revisions I can
see first directory elements.
I used svn copy command to copy the first directory elements to latest
revision. Instead of this workaround, is there any possible way to migrate
clearcase directories one after the other to the same SVN repo.
Commands I used to migrate first and second directory
/usr/bin/svn/svn_load_dirs.pl https://svnrepo/ trunk -
t 'tags/REL1.0' /view/my_view/vobs/vbtag/dir1
/usr/bin/svn/svn_load_dirs.pl https://svnrepo/ trunk -
t 'tags/REL1.0' /view/my_view/vobs/vbtag/dir2

The purpose of svn_load_dirs.pl is to load multiple successive versions of a single project into a repository. For example, if you've kept a makeshift version control system by hand, by duplicating your source directory before every major change, and now want to import that history properly into a repository.
If instead you just want to import a number of different projects into a new repository, without history, you just use "svn import" and don't need svn_load_dirs.pl.

This isn't actually migrating, as all history is lost. If you want to migrate
and can live without the history, you can simply use import, too.
svn_load_dirs is rather for repeatedly importing something into the same
location in order to track some independent, external source.

You gave svn_load_dirs the wrong target location, in this case 'trunk'.
