different IP addresses due to moving WCs with a laptop

[Ulrich Eckhardt <ec...@satorlaser.com>]

Hi!

Working with a WC on a laptop, we sometimes use different IP addresses to 
access the same repository, depending where we are with that laptop. The 
problem with this setup is that Subversion remembers how it accessed the 
repository in the other network and refuses to cooperate in the new network. 
Currently, we solve this by tunneling the access through localhost and 
manually redirecting the tunnel depending on the network.

What I wonder is whether there is a way to tell Subversion that nothing 
changed but the name/address of the repository? Or, even better, if there is 
a way to setup things so that it just doesn't matter what network you're on?

open for any suggestion

Uli

svn switch --relocate

Get a dynamic IP address?

Or, have some program tweak your hosts file depending on which network you 
are on?

svn switch --relocate URL

Use a proxy which is visible to both networks so that the URL doesn't
change.

Or set up the DNS so a different IP address is reported for the same
name on each network.

This is a network issue rather than a Subversion one.  We use a proxy
which can be accessed internally and on our VPN.
