Okay, so let’s say you host a subversion repository on one server and need to completely move or copy it to a different server or server location. The Tigris guys make it very easy. This information is explained in more detail in the free Subversion PDF titled “Version Control with Subversion 1.4″ starting on page 126. I find it easier here.
I’m mostly posting this one because I constantly forget and don’t wanna waste another 10 minutes finding it in some 947-page technical pdf, know what I mean?
You can do this from either your remote server OR your local machine. It’s alot faster to do it from your remote server, but if you want or need to run these commands from your local machine, for example, to backup the latest version/revision to your local machine, to update your local working copy, and probably most commonly because you’re usually already working with your local “working” copy, so it’s easier just to run these commands from there - a few less clicks never hurt anybody, and more time for coffee re-heating.
