svn switch brainos?
(Is this a bug or user or expectation error?)
I did some repository reorganization:
$ svn move http://svnhost/combust/backend/trunk/ \
http://svnhost/combust/trunk/
# 177
$ svn move http://svnhost/combust/backend/branches/ \
http://svnhost/combust/branches/
# 178
$ svn delete http://svnhost/combust/backend
# 179
and then switched my WC over to it
$ svn switch --relocate http://svnhost/combust/backend/trunk \
http://svnhost/combust/trunk/ .
now, when I try and update my repository,
rspier@bear ~/projects/newweb$ svn update
svn: Filesystem has no item
svn: REPORT request failed on '/combust/!svn/vcc/default'
svn: file not found: revision `165', path `/trunk/apache/conf/httpd.tmpl'
The error makes sense, because /trunk/apache/conf/httpd.tmpl doesn't
exist in rev 165 -- in rev 165 it existed in
/backend/trunk/apache/conf/httpd.tmpl
But - now my WC can't update -- I guess I was hoping "the right thing"
would happen.
If I switch the WC "forward" to the latest pre-reorganization
revision, I can update.
$ svn switch -r 176 http://svnhost/combust/backend/trunk/ .
$ svn update
this seems to get me out of my misery. Now to see if I can
communicate this to my users.
$ svn switch --relocate http://svnhost/combust/trunk \
http://svnhost/combust/backend/trunk
$ svn switch -r 179 http://svnhost/combust/trunk
Having done one more test..
$ svn co -r 176 http://svnhost/combust/backend/trunk test
$ cd test
$ svn switch -r 178 http://svnhost/combust/trunk/
At revision 178.
$ svn update
At revision 179.
that seems to be the better way to do it.

But.. it seemed to make sense at the time :)
Would you want a patch adding a error message if
oldschema == newschema and oldhost == newhost ?
(although that doesn't get the other case of changing from one
repository to another on the same host -- which is non-trivial to
figure out from only parsing the URL)

Doh.
Thanks!

Why on earth are you using the --relocate switch? The point of that
switch is for rewriting urls when you switch schemas or hostnames.
But in your case, you don't need that at all. A simple
svn switch http://svnhost/combust/trunk
would have 'updated' your working copy to the new repository location
with no problems at all.
