Change SVN repository URL

Question

My current SVN structure:

Path: .
URL: svn://someaddress.com.tr/project
Repository Root: svn://someaddress.com.tr
Repository UUID: ------------------------------         


        

Answer 1

Grepping the URL before and after might give you some peace of mind:

svn info | grep URL

  URL: svn://svnrepo.rz.mycompany.org/repos/trunk/DataPortal
  Relative URL: (...doesn't matter...)

And checking on your version (to be >1.7) to ensure, svn relocate is the right thing to use:

svn --version

Lastly, adding to the above, if your repository url change also involves a change of protocol you might need to state the before and after url (also see here)

svn relocate svn://svnrepo.rz.mycompany.org/repos/trunk/DataPortal
    https://svngate.mycompany.org/svn/repos/trunk/DataPortal

All in one single line of course.Thereafter, get the good feeling, that all went smoothly:

svn info | grep URL:

If you feel like it, a bit more of self-assurance, the new svn repo URL is connected and working:

svn status --show-updates
svn diff
