How can I relocate to a new repository address with TortoiseSVN?
- by Jesse McGrew
I have a working copy checked out from:
https://oldserver/svn/myproject/branches/mybranch
The server address has changed (actually, the repo was copied over to a new server) so I want to relocate my working copy to the new address:
https://newserver/svn/myproject/branches/mybranch
Note that only the address changed, not the path. But if I type that URL in TortoiseSVN's "Relocate" dialog box, I get the error "'https://newserver/svn/myproject/branches/mybranch' is not the root of the repository" ... well, of course it isn't, but so what?
Then I thought maybe SVN wanted the repository root URL, so I tried giving it https://newserver/svn instead, but that produced the error "Relocate can only change the repository part of an URL".
Are there any options besides backing up my changes and checking out a fresh WC from the new server?
