Hi,

I have two problems that I am looking for help on.

1. I am trying to commit some files but it always tries to commit them to
this old repository I had with some subversion hosting company months ago.
How can I modify the settings so when I right-click and choose "commit" that
it goes to the Repository URL of my choice, from within TortoiseSVN it
doesn't let me specify the URL anymore it seems.

2. I have a folder in my site structure x:\wwwroot\sitename and the sitename
folder is the top-level folder in my site, it has the white checkmark, but
when I try to do a commit, it doesn't do a recursive look-up to find other
folders/files that need to be committed also, it seems like it only commits
files/folders for the level it's at.

Any help highly appreciated.

Thanks,

-ws

Explorer context-menu, TortoiseSVN submenu, Relocate… should do what you
need -- this command "relocates" the working copy's repository metadata
to expect a new repository.

To the best of my knowledge, commit only commits files and folders
modified in and under the current directory. I.e., it won't go up to
look for other modified files, nor go "sideways" to find siblings that
need committing, or even children of siblings (or any other relation
either). Is it not recursing downward through its own children?

Yes, it's not doing any downward recursion

If it's not going downwards, that means that the subfolders have a
different repository uuid than the top folder (so called 'nested
layout'). Check the uuid and do a relocate on the subfolders if
necessary. Or do a fresh checkout.

You can see the uuid in the Subversion tab of the explorer properties
page (right-click on the folder/file, choose 'properties' from the
explorer menu, not the TSVN submenu, then go to the Subversion tab).
