Renaming a branch

[Brian McCann <Br...@viziant.net>]

Hi,
 
I created a branch a few days ago, code has been committed to the branch since it was created

Is it possible to rename a branch? There is an error in its name I would like to fix


Thanks,
Brian

A branch is just a directory, rename it the same way you would any
other. svn mv <url_to_old_name> <url_to_new_name> (if you don't have a
WC checked out from the parent directory).

Ni Brian,

 

You can use svn move (or svn rename) on the branch.

 

The only trick is that if anyone has a working copy pointing to anything in that branch (or below it), they'll have do svn switch that working copy to point to the new name.
