Andrew: good point. I don’t use svn info enough to remember it when I need it. Thanks for your comment.

Antonio: Thanks for the comment.

This post comes late for me

Recently I moved my svn to another server and I did a checkout again.

Good post!!

“Only downside I see with this is that you have to remember what you used originally.”

No, you can use ’svn info’ to find that out.

Thanks for the replies. I have updated the post with svn switch command.

Shoulda used DNS, that’s why it was invented

But yea, “svn switch” would do it.

Good one! I’ve used a comparable solution in the past to edit CVS control files manually.

You might want to add “grep ‘/\.svn/’” into the pipeline before xargs, to prevent editing a normal file that happens to be named “entries”.

Also you can use svn switch. It works for me.
