I have recently moved the SVN server and now i am tring to relocate the working copies from my computer to the new server. But i get the strangest error. i do :
svn switch http://99.99.99.new/svn/company/project/trunk/web but i get
svn: 'http://99.99.99.old/svn/company/project/trunk/web' is not the same repository as 'http://99.99.99.new/svn/company/project' the move was made with dump and import ... and the repo root is on http://99.99.99.new/svn/company/project
Do you guys have any ideas of what might be wrong ? thanks a lot

To switch back, just provide the URL to the location in the repository from which you originally checked out your working copy: $ svn switch http://svn.red-bean.com/repos/trunk/vendors .
A switch moves your working copy through time and space. Because svn switch is essentially a variant of svn update, it shares the same behaviors; any local modifications in your working copy are preserved when new data arrives from the repository.
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.
Try using
svn switch --relocate http://99.99.99.old/svn/company/project/trunk/web http://99.99.99.new/svn/company/project/trunk/web As noted by Sporino in the comments, since Subversion 1.7, there's a seperate relocate command:
svn relocate http://99.99.99.old/svn/company/project/trunk/web http://99.99.99.new/svn/company/project/trunk/web Also, in TortoiseSVN there is "Relocate" option, which you should use in situations like these (instead of the "Switch" option).
