This is possible using the described *move* method. Also, if you then check out the X/A module you will get all of the files and they will have the expected revisions all over including the old subfolders and stuff. And you can update this module to tags and branches just fine, even to dates if you like. All of the data needed for this is stored inside the individual files on the server and will not be affected by the move at all. I would never myself for one instance consider doing what you propose because that results in redundant information in the server. Either I keep the module where it was originally or I restructure, but not both. /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
