When using subversion it is sometimes neccessary to “switch” a checkout to another location.

There are different scenarios :

1. The switch occures inside the same repository, eg. from the trunk to a branch.
   > svn switch URL [PATH]
2. A change switches to the new location of a repositiory after the repository was moved
   > svn switch –relocate FROM TO [PATH]
3. A switch is neccessary from a read only checkout to a writeable checkout.
   This command is often used to switch a read only svn checkout to a writeable checkout :
   > svn switch –relocate svn:// svn+ssh:// [PATH]
