Change of server name
Hi all,
I have an SVN repo that I've been working with for some time. I'm the
only user. Since I created the repo, the server has changed name. Is
there an easy way to perform a commit from my working copy? I can see
that the server name is mentioned in all the .svn/entries files. Can I
find / sed my way through those files and expect the commit to work?
Otherwise, what are my options? Perform an import to a brand-new
repository and lose my changelogs?

You need to do an svn switch.

You need to relocate your working copy:
"svn switch --relocate"

You need to use svn switch --relocate
That lets you change the server portion of the url

$ svn switch --relocate file:///tmp/oldlocation file:///tmp/newlocation
.

Hi Antony
I think this should work well. Make sure you create a backup of your local checked-out folder before editing the files in .svn.
Another option would be to checkout the stuff from the server with the new hostname to an empty folder, then delete all the .svn folders in yourlocal checkout and move the files over to the newly checked out folder. This work for sure.
Hope it helps,
Remo
