svnsync switch ?

[Adrian Marsh <Ad...@ubiquisys.com>]

Hi All, 

Ive a bunch of repositories on a server, that are backed up by svnsync
to another machine (for archive to tape). 

I'm now changing the URL to access the original server (http to https).
I want to update svnsync to do this but I dont see an "svnsync switch"
option. 

My other alternative (and I've already started this) is to run the sync
again using the new URL, and then remove the old. However some of the
repos go to 29000 revisions, and the replication is taking forever. It
also stops part way through for some unknown reason (giving an exit code
of 0). 

I wondered if theres someway of editing the original svnsync repos to
use the new URL? 

Source machine is RHEL5, svn 1.4.2, and the backup machine is Windows
1.4.6

Never mind.. I found the svn propset svn:sync-from-url  command. That
seems to of done what I needed.
