What to modify when my SVN server's IP address changes in Xcode?

Question

I get the following error in Xcode:

Error: 175002 (RA layer request failed) Description: OPTIONS of 'http://[email protected]/svn/MyProj/MyProj.xcodeproj': could not connect to server (http://192.168.0.107)

I made two changes since the last time it worked:

• The local IP address of the computer it's connected to has changed (which obviously would explain why it can't connect)
• I upgraded from SDK 4.0 to 4.1

I tried to fix it by doing the following:

• I went to SCM > Repositories
• Configured my repository and set the new IP address.

It correctly shows the "M" icons near each file that was modified, however, I still get these error messages occasionally, meaning that the old IP address is still stored somewhere.

What else do I need to modify when the IP address changes?

Answer 1

If you originally checked out the tree using http://[email protected]/svn/MyProj (say), then every folder in your working copy will still have a reference to the old location. You need to use svn switch --relocate like so:

cd MyProj
svn switch --relocate http://[email protected]/svn/MyProj http://User@newip/svn/MyProj

Don't be puzzled that files show up as M, and that svn can still compute diffs correctly - these are both local operations that require no repository access.
