[svk-users] help creating ftr branch from back revisions

[William Quan]

Hi,
What I want to do is create a local ftr branch from a local mirror 
branch. The twist is that I want my local ftr branch to be based on an 
older version of whats in the local mirror.

I tried a couple of scenarios but ultimatly get an error saying project 
doesnt exist in both cases.

# Scenario A
# make ftr branch as a copy of whats LATEST
# then back revision everything in new ftr Branch
1.
sync local mirror

2.
create local ftr branch from local mirror branch
  svk cp -p -m "new ftr branch" //project/localMirror //project/ftrBranch

3.
svk co //project/ftrBranch
(in working dir)
svk update -r 2873  .
Path //project/ftrBranch no longer exists.

Not sure what this means as the project does exist. I was able to co and 
browse with viewvc.


# Scenario B
# checkout the local Mirror branch
# back revision everything
# then create a new ftr branch from working copy

1.
svk co //project/localMirror
cd localMirror
2.
svk update -r 2873  .
Path //project/localMirror no longer exists.



Any thoughts as to what I am doing wrong here?
I am new to svk.
thanks,
