SVN - Retrieve history of item "replaced into" existing directory <p>I created a branch from my SVN trunk. In the branch, another developer deleted a directory, but then readded it with the same files. When I merged the changes from the branch back into the trunk (using TortoiseSVN), this directory had a "replace into" message. I unfortunately merged those in (none of these files in the branch had changed, but since it was deleted and added, it showed up as a change). Now, the history for those files only goes back to the time it was readded in the branch. I have the old history in a tag from before the merge, but it is a pain to have to go to that to get the history.</p> <p>Is there a way to update the files to get the history back into the trunk? Even if I merge the tag into the trunk, would it actually update the full history? I have a feeling it would just merge any file changes, not the history.</p>
