RE: [TSVN] Complexity of relocate

Stefan,

I didn't follow everything you wrote, please excuse my lazness, but a short
glance makes me think that you wanted to use 'switch' all the time, but used
relocate instead. A wonder that your working copy still lives.

Use 'switch' if you want to change your working copy to a different location
inside the same repository URL (eg. from http://my.server/repos/trunk/ to
http://my.server/repos/branch/)

Use 'relocate' if you want to chanche the URL to which your WC points. (eg.
Your repository has moved from http://my.server/repos/trunk/ to
http://my.new.server/repos/trunk/ or from http://my.server/repos/trunk/ to
svn+ssh://my.totally.different.server/repos/trunk/)

See the difference?

'Switch' transfers diff data from the server into your WC.
'Relocate' rewrites the URL of your WC.

I also recommend to use a repository per project and not many projects in
one repository. If the number of your projects increases this will work out
better in the long run.

Cheers
- Lübbe
