Using Subversion, how can I cut from one file and paste to another preserving history

Question

The situation is that I\'ve spent some time messing around with some experimental code. I now want to move part of that code - about 500 lines - into another file, but I don\'t

Answer 1

Can't you leave the code in its own file (after trimming the parts you don't want to keep) and include this file into your 'real' source file?

// file foo.cpp:
...
namespace {
#  include "util_code.inc"
}

Not really orthodox, but should work...
