Hi Ryan,
These instructions have worked fantastically for all my repositories.
However with one of my repositories I am seeing this strange problem.
$ svn switch --relocate
svn+ssh://fkim@meetingkoreans.com/home/fkim/svn/mk/trunk
svn+ssh://fkim@meetingkoreans.com/home/fkim/svn/mk
svn: Relocate can only change the repository part of an URL
Do you know why I am getting this error? When I do an svn info it looks
correct the URL I am giving.
$ svn info CHANGELOG
