So they will go along with the move. But you will destroy any similarity to past history at tag points if you do it. If you don't care about that and only want the individual files with their revisions then, yes you can do it. I have personally done similar moves myself when I found that the original structure was not so good after all... /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
