Server rename / migrating existing working copies
We are about to rename our server to fit in with a new company machine
naming scheme, and to complicate matters further our domain name will
change, as will our client machine names, and login names.
We have a large repository of mainly binary data, which we'd rather not
have to make everyone get again from scratch. Is there a way we could
migrate existing working copies to the new names ? Or do we just have to
do it the
slow way ?
Thanks
Rob

And don't forget to update all your externals that point at the box
while you're at it.

That's *ON THE CLIENTS*. Switching the server itself is easy, unless for
some reason you need to replace all the hardware, which I doubt. Just change
its name, and verify that any tools you use for user authentication such as
LDAP or MySQL behind Apache get switched over gracefully.

You need to use svn switch --relocate. See:
