Move your Working Copy

Tags:

linux

svn

I tried to find out how to move my working copy. I know SVN move can be used to move files and folders inside your working copy but what about the working copy itself? I want to move it because I created a branch in a folder location that's different from my branch and had updated therefore all my .NET project references. So when I go to merge back to the mainline trunk I get a bunch of tree conflicts.

I'm runing linux.

What is your working copy?

Your working copy is any folder on your hard drive that you've used to check out a project from subbversion. You can "switch" to a different project for that working copy, so that the versioned contents will resemble the contents of that other project.

What is working copy in Git?

Working Copy allows you to clone your Git repositories onto your mobile device. It integrates nicely with Ulysses on iOS without needing to copy anything between the apps. While Working Copy manages Git repositories and makes them available in the Files app, you can edit contained text or Markdown files with Ulysses.

What is working copy parent?

If you'd like to start a new feature from a branch, then I'd recommend just typing the name of the branch into the "Specified commit" box. "Working copy parent" refers to the 'parent' branch that you are currently working on.

The actual working copy directory may be moved at will using your client operating system commands (i.e. Windows Explorer if you're using tortoisSVN). The working copy contains all the meta-data needed to remain consistent with the original repository from which you checked out the local working copy.
