PostHeaderIcon 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)
