Just copy the whole repository (aka: the whole directory) over to the
other directory/drive and the use TortoiseSVN -> Relocate... to point
your working copy/copies over to the new location.

I've read the manual on relocating the repository, but there is no Relocate option for the repository.  The Relocate option appears only for the root folder that is IN the repository, not for the repository itself.

My repository  was in G:\db\tortoisesvn\code.  The actual code being backed up was in, and still is in, E:\Phil\code.

I moved the repository to E:\db\tortoisesvn\code, but now SVN can't find it, & can't do anything; and nothing in the settings lets me point it at the new repository location.

The only time I get the 'Relocate' option is when I right-click on E:\Phil\code, which is not the repository, but the source.

I want to move the repository.  Is there no way to do that?

As Stefan Hett already wrote, you don't need to "relocate" the repository in itself, you just move it using whatever tools are available on your OS.

The "relocate" command is used within a "working copy" to change the "link" between the working copy.

It seems you have successfully moved the repository to E:\db\tortoisesvn\code, now you should "relocate" in e:\phil\code from file:///g:/db/tortoisesvn/code to file:///e:/db/tortoisesvn/code

Hope that helps!

Daniel

PS: Remember that in Subversion, the "repository" is the folder containing subfolders conf, db hooks, locks etc. while the folder containing the checkedout source code is a "working copy". Git only use the word "repository", so if you are used to Git it might be easy to mix up the terms.

Thank you; yes, that worked!
