RE: TortoiseSVN on thedailywtf.com

Hi Folks,

Trying to sum up the suggestions/results for the relocate warning:

1) Don't reverse the order of URL selection and warning

2) Improve the dialog. Option A distilled from feedback on the list, Option
B is another suggestion on my part.

Option B:
---SNIP---
Relocate Warning
------------------------------------------------------------
It seems you are trying to _relocate_ your working
copy inside the same repository.

 From: http://sameserver/samerepository/thispath
 To: http://sameserver/samerepository/thatpath

This is normally done by a _switch_ operation.

A relocate is only needed if the server name or ip, the
repository name or the protocol has changed.
(e.g. http:// to https:// or http://svn.myserver.com/
to http://svn.yourserver.com).

Improper use of relocate *will corrupt your working copy!*

Do you really want to relocate?
 
[Yes] [NO] [Help]
---SNIP---

Option B:
---SNIP---
Relocate Warning
------------------------------------------------------------
It seems you are trying to _relocate_ your working
copy to a different path inside the same repository.

 From: http://sameserver/samerepository/thispath
 To: http://sameserver/samerepository/thatpath

A relocate is only needed if the _path *to* a repository_
has changed.
Changing to a different _path *inside* a repository_
is done by a switch operation.

Improper use of relocate *will corrupt your working copy!*

Do you really want to relocate?
 
[Yes] [NO] [Help]
---SNIP---

How about Josephs suggestion to offer
[Relocate] [Switch] [CANCEL] [Help]
buttons instead?

Cheers
