you are right; as the addressing of the working copy and the properties is
done via MD5 of the pathname, a working copy move is not really supported at
the time.

Well, the easiest way is to go to the current working copy, do
old/ # fsvs urls dump > /tmp/fsvs-urls
and then move or rename the working copy, followed by going into the new path
and starting
new/ # fsvs urls load < /tmp/fsvs-urls
to initialize the new path configuration.
# ls -la /etc/fsvs/
shows the new and old config directories - simply move the files from the old
directory into the new one (would be Urls and Ign, I think); then do a
new/ # fsvs sync-repos
to fetch current file list and properties for the new paths.
(You could write a script to move these files into the new place, too - the
address is simply MD5(path) without any trailing \0 or \n; there's an example
script in
http://fsvs.tigris.org/source/browse/fsvs/branches/fsvs-1.2.x/fsvs/tests/path2spool?view=log)
That way you can at least keep the local data, and save network bandwidth.
Sorry for the bother; I hope that helps.
Regards,
Phil
