Currently all my code is under the repository http://local.svn.com/svn/repoe5r/. I want the name repoe5r to be changed to SVNROOT. Can I do that? Thanks The history of the repository will remain untouched if you rename the repository. Of course you will need access to the server to do this. You just need to "switch relocate" all working copies to the new URL. Just to make sure - is "repoe5r" the repository, or a directory within a repository named "svn"? (my answered assumed it is a repository) One thing to note, if you have used svn:externals to reference this repository changing the url will break them (with the exception of certain relative references). ##################################################################################### Attention: The information contained in this message and or attachments is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
