OK, thanks.

It's certainly much quicker for me here in the UK using SVN (via Eclipse).

However, it seems to be quite time-consuming to swap servers. It does not appear to be possible to use "svn switch" as the repos are regarded as different.

I ended up having to delete my existing project and download it again, which seems rather a waste of bandwidth.

Maybe next time I'll tried editting the .svn/entries files - but there are rather a lot of them.

Anyone got a better method for switching servers?

svn switch --relocate \ https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr/trunk \ https://svn.eu.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr/trunk

works for me?

does

svn sw --relocate \ https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf \ https://svn.eu.apache.org/repos/asf

work as a general-purpose command? This would be great to add to any announcement mail.

Just tried and it works for me on SVN 1.4.6/WinXP.

Seems you can also switch between http/https the same way - the --relocate help says:

"Rewrite working copy URL metadata to reflect a syntactic change only. This is used when repository's root URL changes (such as a scheme or hostname change) but your working copy still reflects the same directory within the same repository."

I did notice that I had to re-authenticate, and also that SVN externals (we use one in SpamAssassin, unfortunately) need to be switched separately. Seems definitely speedier though.

SVN externals are stored as properties in SVN. So switching them will affect everyone, so may not always be appropriate.

It's a pity that svn:externals does not support relative paths (yet??).
