I have to change my SVN repo URL so I run:

svn relocate [new_url]

Output:

svn: E170011: Repository moved temporarily to [new_url]

Running echo $? gives 1 back. Operations like checkout are also causing the same issue.

Both [new_url]s are the same.

But when I run svn info it still shows the old URL. If I try to commit changes it goes to the old repo.

How do I fix this issue? I'm using Subversion with Git for Windows. I'm not using git-svn, I'm using the original subversion CLI.

Edit: On the SVN server, I run this command:

svn checkout http://localhost/svn/testrepo

And it outputs:

Redirecting to URL 'http://localhost/svn/testrepo/':
svn: /build/subversion-owKwd0/subversion-1.13.0/subversion/libsvn_subr/dirent_uri.c:1562: uri_skip_ancestor: Assertion `svn_uri_is_canonical(child_uri, NULL)' failed.
Aborted

I'm using apache2 server with dav_svn module to serve svn repos.

Apache2 Configuration (/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dav_svn.conf):

Alias /svn /svn

<Location /svn>
 DAV svn
 SVNParentPath /svn
 AuthType Basic
 AuthName "Auth"
 AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd
 <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
  Require valid-user
 </LimitExcept>
</Location>

  • Please [edit] your question and add more details. What happens when you run svn relocate [new_url]? If you get any output, copy&paste it to the question. What is the exit code? What exactly means "I'm using Subversion with Git for Windows."? Do you use git-svn? Do you run svn commands in Git Bash? Git for Windows is neither Unix nor Linux. – Bodo Sep 28 '22 at 16:42
  • @bodo I've edited the question. – Ar Rakin Sep 28 '22 at 16:48
  • You did not provide all requested information in your question. Just to be sure about the exit code: Assuming you are using bash, show the output of echo $? after running svn relocate ... or in CMD echo %ERRORLEVEL%. Do you use CMD or Git Bash? Do you use git-svn? Is the URL in the error message really the same or maybe one with http: and the other with https:? On case you are overlooking something, pasting the real command and output to your question would allow us to spot errors. – Bodo Sep 28 '22 at 17:15
  • @bodo Question updated. Please check it now. – Ar Rakin Sep 28 '22 at 18:51
  • Does it produce an error on svn relocate? The most common problem with it - incorrectly typed new address. In this case, the svn is unable to find repository on the new URL and abort the change. But it should give an easy to understood error about it. > I'm using Subversion with Git for Windows. So are you using SVN or GIT? Or some kind of weird cross, in which case all bets are off. – White Owl Sep 28 '22 at 16:45
