Moved SVN Repository To New Server

[Gregg Bolinger]

Today I moved a rather large subversion repos from our old server to a new server. The URL is now different and I'm wondering if there is a simple way to point existing checked out stuff to the new url location. Will the switch command work in this case? I asking before I try it because I don't want to jack anything up.

Thanks.

Tried the following and I got no errors but when I do an svn update, it is still looking at the old server.

svn switch --relocate svn+ssh://gdboling@oldserver/var/svn/repos/project/trunk svn+ssh://gdboling@newserver/home/svn/repos/project/trunk

I removed the 'gdboling@' from the URL's and when I run the command it asks for the password to the new server. But then I get this error.

svn: The repository at 'svn+ssh://newserver/home/svn/repos/project/trunk' has uuid '67c3b32d-0b90-4e6f-a96e-dced573cc65b', but the WC has 'de81da0c-c016-4476-abf5-1d7ab34bc7f0'

I figured it out. I had to use the svnadmin setuuid to give the new server the old server's uuid. Now the switch worked just fine.
