I have currently overseeing a system that has been passed to me, that the version control was done in this fashion:
Everytime the developer (just one) wanted to create a snapshot, he would copy the entire folder to a directory and give it a number. So currently I hold folders ranging from 1 to 50, and I would like to start using svn for this.
Besides from creating a new trunk from the last version, I would like to create a history from that versions. I tried copying versino 1, commiting, removing it, pasting v2 in place, commiting changes, it did work well, except for one problem (files deletes did not translate to svn deletes).
How would you automate this task?
