Umm, no, not exactly: you 'moved' your repository from file:///svn/ to
https://domain/svn/repos/. So, you should relocate that way.
Then, you moved a repository path from <repos>/proj/ to
<repos>/proj/trunk. What happens is that the server sends a delete
command to the working copy for /proj/ and an add for /proj/trunk/.
But even before the /proj/ directory is deleted, the working copy
notices that it is currently rooted *within* /proj/, telling you it
can't delete itself. The easiest way to overcome that problem is to
use switch (without relocate) to switch from the current path to the
new trunk. But, then the paths must still be correct in 'svn info':
https:///domain/svn/repos/proj/ with the old revision number (38?).
HTH,
Erik.
