A development team wants to split a big component into several small ones, without losing the history of the files.
Is this possible? The work around from Enhancement 56504 is unclear. Thanks for helping. |

I've updated the description of Move files and folders between components and retain history (56504) to clarify the workaround. In particular, I added to the description:
If you want to move an arbitrary file or folder from a "source" component to a "target" component, a workaround is to: - create a new dummy Eclipse project in the source component - move the file/folder into that dummy Eclipse project - use MoveInRepository to move the dummy Eclipse project to the target component - move the file/folder to where you really wanted it to go in the target component, and then - delete the dummy Eclipse project from the target component. If this does not provide sufficient clarity, please indicate what part of these instructions are not clear. Lorenzo . selected this answer as the correct answer
Comments Hi Geoffrey, thanks for the update.
