Moving servers
I'll hopefully be shortly moving my Apache based svn repository. Is
there a nice easy (e.g. via an HTTP 301 response code in place on the
old server) to tell the clients that it has permanently moved, or will
everyone have to 'svn switch' on all of their working copies?
TIA,
Greg

The trouble is the old server doesn't have a name, only an IP address
:-(
The new server has a name, so at least next time I'll be sorted!

How about making the new server the same name as the old server? When
you do the switch, change the server names so that DNS routes to the new
server with the same concurrent name.
Then you don't have to trouble all of the users. If the server only
hosts Subversion and no other critical apps, this should be a relatively
painless process.

Frank

Subversion doesn't follow 301s (or 302s I think); you just end up
getting a cryptic error message. Everyone will have to switch their
working copies. Send everyone an email telling them to do so. :-)
