SVN: How to switch from remote repository to local?
I have an SVN repository on a remote server. My local working copy accesses it through the svn:// protocol. I want to move the repository to my local PC. I've copied the repository over, but when I try to switch (relocate) my working copy to use the local repository (accessing it just through the file system - no server running), svn complains that it's not a valid relocation.
I.e. the Windows command 'svn switch --relocate svn://diskstation/svnrepository c:UsersBobDocumentssvnrepository' gives the error 'svn: E200004: 'svn://diskstation/svnrepository' to 'C:/Users/Bob/Documents/svnrepository' is not a valid relocation'
How can I get my working copy to start using the local repository?
Thank you,
Bob

BTW, switch--relocatedeprecated a lot of versions ago. You must to usesvn relocatein up-to-date SVN-client. And running svnserve local will be better solution technicaly

Instead of using 'C:/Users/Bob/Documents/svnrepository' in the switch command, use 'file:///C:/Users/Bob/Documents/svnrepository'.
