Uli,

I'm not using Apache.  I do, however, have TortoiseSVN installed.

My Repositories were originally in C:\DW and I want to move them to =
C:\Open\kwc54dw\DW
I have copied the repository "AHEAProps Repository" to this new location

My working files were originally in C:\Dev and I have moved them to =
c:\open\kwc54dw\Dev

When I try to do the switch from within TSVN:

Command: Switch C:\Open\kwc54dw\Dev\AHEAProps to =
file:///C:/Open/kwc54dw/DW/AHEAProps Repository, Revision HEAD =20
Error: 'file:///C:/DW/AHEAProps%20Repository' =20
Error: is not the same repository as =20
Error: 'file:///C:/Open/kwc54dw/DW/AHEAProps%20Repository' =20
Finished!:

If I try to use the Relocate command from TSVN, I get this message:

"If seems you are trying to relocate your working copy to a different =
path inside the same repository.
From: file:///C:/DW/AHEAProps Repository
To: file:///C:/open/kwc54dw/DW/AHEAProps Repository

A relocate is only needed if the path to a repository has changed. ... =
Improper use of relocate will corrupt your working copy!"

Stuck now :-(  Thought I understood this, apparently not.

Thanks,

David

Make sure the repos are not accessed at the moment (turn off=20
Apache/svnserve) and then just do a file-system move operation using=20
your preferred file management utility.

Yes, you need to do that but on your working copies, not on the=20
repositories. OTOH, if you are using any server for them, you only need=20
to tell the server that they were moved. If the server still runs on the =

same machine/port then working copies don't need relocation.


Cheers!

Uli
