I'm currently working with a repository that has the following structure:

ProjectName
- Applications
-- ProjectName (AGAIN!)
--- trunk
--- branches
--- tags
- Databases
-- MyDBName
--- trunk
--- branches
--- tags

I assume this structure was created so that developers could add multiple applications to this repository under the Applications folder. I may be wrong, but this seems incorrect. Everywhere else I've worked, each project had its own repository.

Additionally, being that databases is a different folder than applications, you can't associate a DB with a certain application.

What I would like to do is take the --ProjectName repository out and create a whole new repository for that. But, I would like to keep all of the history for that give folder. Can I do this easily?

I'm using VisualSVN.
