Re: Windows file:/// URL format for svnsync

Hi, Ben, and thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I think that was the
first (or perhaps the second) thing I tried, to no avail (also
unfortunately, I'm away from my work computer for the rest of the day so I
can't check my command history or the error message it generated).

As I think about my sitch, I realize that the folder I thought was the root
of the repository probably isn't, because it's the root of the directory
tree in which reside all the files that I edit day-to-day, and that's
supposed to be a working copy, not the repository itself, correct? Assuming
that's correct, my ultimate goal is to "relocate" my project, with history,
to a new, empty Google code project (already created and reset)--how should
I proceed: should I continue to try to svnsync my new Google project to my
existing repository (to which I'll never again have access after tomorrow),
and if so, how do I find my repository from knowing where a working copy is
('cause, clearly, I've forgotten)? Or should I just upload my working copy
from its root, and then check that out to any place else I want to be able
to work on it--would such an upload include the history, and would Google
Code recognize it? Please advise/help!

Thanks,

DG
