# Equivalent of `svn switch` for git-svn? 5 messages from 2007-09-27 to 2007-09-27. Participants: Adam Roben, Pierre Habouzit, Johannes Schindelin.

Message-ID: <46FB5086.7070408@apple.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/46FB5086.7070408%40apple.com ``` Hi all- I've recently been informed that the Subversion server I and several others have been tracking with git-svn will be switching from using the svn+ssh scheme to the http scheme. To handle this, users of svn will be running `svn switch` to move their working copies to the new repository URL. Is there some way to do the same for git-svn? I suspect the biggest complication will come from the git-svn-id: lines in the commit logs, since changing that line would require changing the commit hash as well. Thanks for any advice! -Adam ``` ## Pierre Habouzit, 2007-09-27 10:06 Subject: Re: Equivalent of `svn switch` for git-svn?

I'm asking because my understanding is that git-svn uses those git-svn-id: lines to determine which branch you're on, and if the URLs are now all out of date won't it then think it can't determine the correct branch? Thanks for the suggestions so far. -Adam ``` ## Pierre Habouzit, 2007-09-27 17:02 Subject: Re: Equivalent of `svn switch` for git-svn?

I've always believed that git-svn should always have done what git checkout --track do, meaning set into the configuration which svn remote branch you are following. -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O madcoder@debian.org OOO http://www.madism.org ```
