Restore SVN ancestry of file copied and then edited

I have a file in SVN that I copied a while back. The only problem is that I didn't do it with an svn cp, I did with with a normal cp. Now, I've made a bunch of edits to the file but it doesn't have any ancestry; the logs report it being added wholesale instead of being copied.

Is there a way for me to fix my SVN repository such that it contains both information about the copy and my edits?

I suggest you to:

  1. Save your file somewhere and delete it from repository
  2. Perform the svn cp then checkout the file into your working copy
  3. Overwrite the file with the one saved in step 1.
  4. Commit it !
