RE: Moving a repository

If the URL to the repository changes, then all working copies *will* need to be switched, or more accurately, relocated (using "switch --relocate"), to the new location.

Sometimes it is possible to physically move a repository without changing the URL; it depends how the repository is served. For example, with the file:// scheme, the URL will usually have to change; with the http:// scheme it need not if Apache's internal configuration is adjusted.
