Previous svn log is not displayed

Question

Firstly, I have migrated my CVS repository into SVN repository. I checked out this whole SVN repository and make some changes like rearranging the directories into branches and tags. The I imported it into the new SVN repository. I am using following command to import ..

svn import svn+ssh://host/address/path to repository -m "new files added" --username xyz

After authenticating xyz, it gets imported.

Now I am checking out that repository into working copy. I used following command

svn co svn+ssh://host/address/path to repository  --username xyz

When I do svn log I get the new files added as log output. All the previous logs are not displayed. I want those logs to be displayed.How can I get those logs?

Answer 1

If you want to retain files' history, use svn cp and svn mv in the initial repository instead of importing the files to a new repository.

Answer 2

when you svn import files into Subversion, you create an initial version of those files. The files can't have more history than what you're currently seeing, because before the import there weren't tracked by svn.
