I've reinstalled my SVN server and the path has changed from svn://192.168.1.35/DDL2/trunk/DD_... to svn://192.168.1.35/trunk/DD_... . I've made several changes on the working copy and wants to commit it on server so I need to change the path/url without affecting the working copy.
I've tried to use TortoiseSVN's Relocate feature but got "Relocate can only change the repository part of an URL", maybe I should use Switch but I'm worried about the working copy revision.
svn info svn://192.168.1.35/

The --relocate option causes svn switch to do something different: it updates your working copy to point to the same repository directory, only at a different URL (typically because an administrator has moved the repository to another server, or to another URL on the same server).
The relocate command is only used if the URL of the repository root has changed. Possible reasons are: The IP address of the server has changed. The protocol has changed (e.g. http:// to https://). The repository root path in the server setup has changed.
If you use TortoiseSVN, see this article for instructions. In case you need to change the url for your Git repository, you can do this by going to the root of your working copy, then you need to go to . git folder (please note that this folder is hidden), and modify remotes in your config file.
This question has the answer. Specifically:
svn switch --relocate http://svn.example.com/path/to/repository/path/within/repository http://svnnew.example.com/new/repository/path/within/repository If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
