svn does not match expected url
Today I tried to 'svn update' a very old folder from a very old repository
and got the error
svn does not match expected url
I read about some related problems where it was pointed out that the
problem comes from an inconsistent use of upper and lower case in
windows and linux machines. However, in my case, both the repository
and the folder were on linux machines. Nevertheless, the repository is
in a machine which is listed in my /etc/hosts and thus has an abbreviated
name. Its full name is em.fis.unam.mx and its short name is em, so I
sometimes use
svn ... svn://em.fis.unam.mx/...
and sometimes just
svn ... svn://em/...
I checked manually that my folder was up to date and then removed it
to check out a fresh copy, so now I cannot reproduce the error.
Nevertheless, my questions are: Is this a known issue? Should I always
use the full name of the repository host? Is there a decent way to
correct the problem (in case it appears again in the future)?
Thanks and best regards,
Luis

1.7 recognizes both syntaxes, for backwards compatibility.

In old versions of Subversion: svn switch --relocate
In Subversion 1.7 and up: svn relocate

Wouldn't it be 'svn relocate'? (Just read about it in the manual)

You don't mention which old server software, or client software, you
used to check this old folder out.

Mixing and matching will cause trouble. It should be possible to use
"svn switch" to set the URL to be consistent throughout your working
copy.
Did you maybe have an svn:extern you were dealing with?

I recommend fully qualified host names. If you have a server named
"svn" at work" and one named "svn" at home, life gets confusing.
What you have in /etc/hosts, and even searchable DNS domains in
/etc/resolv.conf, should not matter as long as the name resolves by
hook or by crook.
