i have tried checkout f:/general/svn/repository into c:/work, svn gives error: c:/work is already a working copy for a different url

Answer 1

It looks like you're using TortoiseSVN in which case you'd choose "Relocate" and put in the new address.

Answer 2

You want the svn switch --relocate command.

Answer 3

cd c:\work
svn switch --relocate file:///E:/svn/repository file:///F:/general/svn/repository
