We have a Subversion repository with one directory that is:

  • Not really in need of revision control beyond the capabilities of RCS
  • Not versioned in conjunction with anything else in the repository
  • Modified about six times as often as the rest of the repository

Although I know that high revision numbers aren't a problem, nonetheless I'd like to pull this one single directory out of my main repository and into a second, ideally new one.

What is the best process for that? If it makes a difference, the SVN repository is hosted on a (... checks... ) FreeBSD machine.

It's worth noting that while I need to retain the version history in the new repository, there's no need to obliterate the content in the old; it can just sit there, for all I care.
