I add something, which I have tried with this from FLorent:

Do exactely the same like in FLorents email, and then:

~ % cd pkg-tetex
~/pkg-tetex % mv tex-common foobar
~/pkg-tetex % mv foobar/trunk tex-common

etc.

Then you have

	pkg-tetex/---->tex-common/ all the files without trunk
                 /---->tetex-base/ all the files without trunk subdir

and it works the same!

Reason: svn saves the files/directories into .svn/entries. Ie when it
tries to updated it checks all the files in .svn/entries and updates
them, and then for all directories changes into these directories and
continue (more or less).

So in fact I edited my .svn/entries by hand!

Best wishes

Norbert
