SVN_SSH would be the best solution since doing a svn --relocate plays
back and forth between developers. Every developer on the team would
have to first relocate and then do a svn update.
Thank you!!! This is actually the best solution and it works!!!
Now we are looking more like CVS. I can deal with this one.
=============================================================================
[williams@ics-srv-phy1 svn-xaldev]$ export SVN_SSH='/usr/bin/ssh -l
williams'
[williams@ics-srv-phy1 svn-xaldev]$ svn update
williams@ics-srv01's password:
U gov/sns/apps/sclmonitor/LLRFPanel.java
U gov/sns/xal/smf/impl/Solenoid.java
Updated to revision 6747.
