Subversion - Make a branch and add all the following revisions to it

I have a project in subversion. I would like to make a branch at revision 16000 and include all the revisions up to 16011 in it. I then would like to remove 16001 to 16011 from the trunk since I just want those revisions to be in the branch. Is there a way to do this?

BTW I am using toirtoise svn.

I would like to make a branch at revision 16000 and include all the revisions up to 16011 in it.

To simplify it - create branch from version 16011.

Right click TortoiseSVN > Branch... > Speciffic revision in repository and specify 16011.

I then would like to remove 16001 to 16011 from the trunk since I just want those revisions to be in the branch.

Use reverse merge to achieve this:

Right click TortoiseSVN > Merge... > Merge a range of revisions... > Reverse merge. Click Show log and choose range from 16001 - 160011.

Do not forget to commit.

Note:

Since TortoiseSVN never loses data, your “rolled back” revisions still exist as intermediate revisions in the repository. Only the HEAD revision was changed to a previous state. If you want to make revisions disappear completely from your repository, erasing all trace that they ever existed, you have to use more extreme measures. Unless there is a really good reason to do this, it is not recommended. One possible reason would be that someone committed a confidential document to a public repository.

The only way to remove data from the repository is to use the Subversion command line tool svnadmin. You can find a description of how this works in the Repository Maintenance .
