It looks like svnwcsub.py is not always able to update the workspace if the source URL is updated in the configuration file.
I am seeing an error of the form: svn: E195012: Path '/www/ace.apache.org' does not share common version control ancestry with the requested switch location. Use --ignore-ancestry to disable this check. svn: E195012: 'https://svn-master.apache.org/repos/infra/sites/ace' shares no common ancestry with '/www/ace.apache.org Is there any reason why the svn switch command does not include the suggested option? Seems to me it ought to be possible to replace the checkout with a different SVN repo without needing to manually remove the existing checkout. Sebb.
