[Xerte-dev] Re: Outstanding stuff

[Kemp Johnathan]

OK will do.

With respect to how turtle svn works

If I create a folder in "en-gb" in Xerte svn / runtime / pages / wizards /

and then copy all the contents ( including the .svn folder ) of the  xerte
svn / runtime / pageWizards / en-GB folder  into the new en-gb folder ,

will this preserve the update history of the files now that they are in a
new location?

Kind regards

Johnathan
