Hi Anton,
The command "svn switch svn://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head/" will do
what you want. "svn relocate" repoints a working copy to a new URL,
if the repository has changed on the server side, but "svn switch"
updates the local working copy to match a new URL within the same
repository on the server.
Hope it helps,
Greg

I think I get it.
What you suggested worked, thank you:
root@zzz:/usr/ports # svn info
Path: .
Working Copy Root Path: /usr/ports
URL: svn://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head
Repository Root: svn://svn.freebsd.org/ports
Repository UUID: 35697150-7ecd-e111-bb59-0022644237b5
Revision: 311942
Node Kind: directory
Schedule: normal
Last Changed Author: tota
Last Changed Rev: 311942
Last Changed Date: 2013-02-08 14:53:49 +0000 (Fri, 08 Feb 2013)
However, this didn't work:
root@zzz:/usr/ports # svn switch svn://svn0.us-east.freebsd.org/ports/head
svn: E155025: 'svn://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head'
is not the same repository as
'svn://svn0.us-east.freebsd.org/ports'
root@zzz:/usr/ports #
I read somewhere that it is advisable
to use these mirrors to offload the main server.
So how can easily switch to "east" (or "west")?
Thanks
Anton
