I think I may still be missing something simple. First, I note that
accidentally attempting to relocate my trunk to a new location with 'trunk'
omitted from the repo results in not being able to commit. That makes
sense, but perhaps could be trapped in the relocate process itself.
The 'relocate' dialog appears to act recursively on directories, which is
almost always what I want.
But in the case of a disaster recovery, a developer's working copy might
include switches to several different branches:
WC\Base --> \trunk\Base
WC\Module_1-->\branches\GonzoModule_1
A good developer would be careful to check which branch was "checked out" of
before relocating. But is there a way to let TSVN recognize the branches,
relative to the old repo, and relocate them relative to the new repo in a
recursive way that also honors branches?
