svn move URL URL
should move the whole stuff including the history, at least I do
understand it that way. So this shouldn't be a problem.

Do you have an idea how to do the following: in pkg-texlive I use the
-m regexp -s .... dest1 dest2 \
-m regext -s .... dest3 dest4
quite a lot. Every project (4) adds its name to the subject so one can
easily filter.
Now I want a test wether up to now there was no match. The problem is
that if I do
-m . -s ... dest5
then dest5 gets *all* emails even if it was already sent to one of the
first destinations.
Questions:
- Can one create a regexp that doesn't match the first projects, or
- can one patch the commit-email.pl script to exit with a different
exit code if no email was sent, i.e. no regexp has matched.

This is the real question, and I don't have any idea what the
implications are ... but others are welcome to enlighten me!
Best wishes
