Is there a way for a poor ancient oligo-neuronic Windows user to do this with Tortoise SVN, or do I have to RTFM the SVN command line interface?
(There are hundreds of change to hundreds of files in tens of sub- directories:-( )
In TortoiseSVN's context menu, there is a "Create patch" option and an "Apply patch" option. You should be able to "Create patch" in your old tree and then "Apply patch" on that patch in the new tree. It's the same operation that I described.
After a brief cardiac assert when I got a message: "An unknown line type was found in line 90059!" using a full diff (5 Mbyte) of ALL the files. I then tried a diff created from only the files selected by Tortoise SVN to create the diff (0.5 Mbyte), and all now appears to be well from a brief inspection and a re-run of some tests. I could then commit these updated files OK, as before. And I await John's confirmation that my many changes are correct. Thanks for your invaluable help.
