SVN repository location change
Case
Your project repository was hosted by a server oldServer
. A morning, you come at office, nothing works, impossible to update your project.
After hours searching for an explanation, you happen to know that your dear colleagues off-shore moved the repository onto another location, let’s say newServer
.
Now you have to relocate your project on your local desktop.
Fix
Use the following command on your project head folder:
svn switch --relocate svn://oldRepository svn://newRepository
This operation may be performed with TortoiseSVN (right click on the directory > TortoiseSVN > Relocate)
