Today is the day of short articles. This one is really trivial. You'll agree as soon as you read it.

TortoiseSVN makes moving versioned files very easy. Moving files is the usual Windows procedure: hold down the right mouse button over the set of files to move. Then drag them to the new folder and select "SVN move versioned files here".

Well that's easy. But there is one pitfall that might make you ask: "Why the hell is no such menu item on my Windows box?"

The answer ist really really (believe me) REALLY simple. Subversion can move versioned files to versioned folders only! So:

- Check if the folder is already versioned.
- If not, right click the folder and add it to your repository.
- Now proceed like above: right-click-and-drag the files, select the menu item and you're done.

Well, that was trivial, wasn't it? Took some minutes for me, please be kind, I'm getting old. ;)
