"svn relocate" repoints a working copy to a new URL, if the repository has changed on the server side, but "svn switch" updates the local working copy to match a new URL within the same repository on the server. Hope it helps, Greg - -- Greg Larkin I think I get it. What you suggested worked, thank you: root@zzz:/usr/ports # svn info Path: . Working Copy Root Path: /usr/ports URL: svn://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head Repository Root: svn://svn.freebsd.org/ports Repository UUID: 35697150-7ecd-e111-bb59-0022644237b5 Revision: 311942 Node Kind: directory Schedule: normal Last Changed Author: tota Last Changed Rev: 311942 Last Changed Date: 2013-02-08 14:53:49 +0000 (Fri, 08 Feb 2013) However, this didn't work: root@zzz:/usr/ports # svn switch svn://svn0.us-east.freebsd.org/ports/head svn: E155025: 'svn://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head' is not the same repository as 'svn://svn0.us-east.freebsd.org/ports' root@zzz:/usr/ports # I read somewhere that it is advisable to use these mirrors to offload the main server. So how can easily switch to "east" (or "west")? Thanks Anton
