Change SVN repository URL

Question

My current SVN structure   Path    URL  svn   someaddress com tr project Repository Root  svn   someaddress com tr Repository UUID  ------------------------------------- Revision  10297 Node Kind  directory Schedule  normal Last Changed Author  ---- Last Changed Rev  9812 Last Changed Date  2010-12-20 17 38 48  0100  Mon  20 Dec 2010    But our project  hence the SVN service  will work over sub someaddress com tr instead of someaddress com tr  someaddress com tr will be redirected to somewhere else soon    Since it is the development server  I could not be sure about what to do  Will I need to use svn switch or svn switch --relocate  Also  will I need to switch svn root someaddress com tr or the project branch someaddress com tr project

In my case  the svn relocate command  as well as svn switch --relocate  failed for some reason  maybe the repo was not moved correctly  or something else   I faced this error     svn relocate NEW SERVER svn  E195009  The repository at  NEW SERVER  has uuid  e7500204-160a-403c-b4b6-6bc4f25883ea   but the WC has  3a8c444c-5998-40fb-8cb3-409b74712e46    I did not want to redownload the whole repository  so I found a workaround  It worked in my case  but generally I can imagine a lot of things can get broken  so either backup your working copy  or be ready to re-checkout the whole repo if something goes wrong    The repo address and its UUID are saved in the  svn wc db SQLite database file in your working copy  Just open the database  e g  in SQLite Browser   browse table REPOSITORY  and change the root and uuid column values to the new ones  You can find the UUID of the new repo by issuing svn info NEW SERVER   Again  treat this as a last resort method

Given that the Apache Subversion server will be moved to this new DNS alias  sub someaddress com tr   With Subversion 1 7 or higher  use svn relocate  Relocate is used when the SVN server s location changes  switch is only used if you want to change your local working copy to another branch or another path   If using TortoiseSVN  you may follow instructions from the TortoiseSVN Manual  If using the SVN command line interface  refer to this section of SVN s documentation  The command should look like this  svn relocate svn   sub someaddress com tr project  Keep using  project given that the actual contents of your repository probably won t change    Note  svn relocate is not available before version 1 7  thanks to ColinM for the info   In older versions you would use      svn switch --relocate OLD NEW

Grepping the URL before and after might give you some peace of mind   svn info   grep URL    URL  svn   svnrepo rz mycompany org repos trunk DataPortal   Relative URL      doesn t matter       And checking on your version  to be  1 7  to ensure  svn relocate is the right thing to use   svn --version   Lastly  adding to the above  if your repository url change also involves a change of protocol you might need to state the before and after url  also see here   svn relocate svn   svnrepo rz mycompany org repos trunk DataPortal     https   svngate mycompany org svn repos trunk DataPortal   All in one single line of course Thereafter  get the good feeling  that all went smoothly   svn info   grep URL    If you feel like it  a bit more of self-assurance  the new svn repo URL is connected and working   svn status --show-updates svn diff
