Replace SVN folder structure with non svn folder structure

I have this folder structure:

Folder A
└── Folder B
    └── Folder C

They exist my repo and now I got a clean folder structure outside SVN with almost the exact same structure (some folders and files may have been added/updated)

Something like:

Folder A
├──  Folder B
│    └── Folder C
└──  Folder D

Is there an easy way to get the new changes without having to remove (svn delete, svn commit) the old structure and adding the new one?

I don't want to do this folder by folder since there can be a lot of nested folders.

You can use svn_load_dirs.pl which is doing exact what you need:

  • check out a directory from Repository
  • replace all changed files
  • add all new files/folders
  • remove obsolete file/folders

You can get it here

If you are sure, that no files / dirs have been deleted in the new structure I would do this:

  • checkout the "old" structure into a fresh working copy.
  • copy the "new" structure (without any ".svn" dirs) over the "old" one.
  • use "svn status" to find and fix the differences.

Deletions would not be detected by this procedure.
