Change the Ankh Subversion / SVN URL folder path in Visual Studio

Question

I have a bunch of projects in my SVN Repo like so:

/Projects/Alpha
/Projects/Beta
/Projects/Gamma
/Projects/Delta

On my local machine, the repo maps to

c:\Projects

I don't want to checkout all the Repo's projects to my local machine. So, I have used Repo Browser to just checkout the projects I want. Therefore on my local machine I have got:

c:\Projects\Alpha
c:\Projects\Beta

This is fine until I open up the Beta project in Visual Studio, which has Ankh installed. When the solution opens, the Pending Changes window shows the following repo URL:

https://myrepo.local/svn/Projects

To me, the URL is wrong. As it is, when I click the Update button in Pending Changes, it starts to update all the files in Projects - when I only want to update the files for Beta. Therefore I think the URL should really be

https://myrepo.local/svn/Projects/Beta

However when I change the URL to that, it seems to want to do a SVN Switch, which doesn't seem right. It thinks I want to associate the Path C:\Projects with https://myrepo.local/svn/Projects/Beta, which is incorrect.

So can anyone tell me how to sort this out, and why the Beta project thinks its repo URL is https://myrepo.local/svn/Projects in the first place?

Answer 1

Well it's been a while, nobody answered my question, and I forgot about it.

Then today I faced the same problem on a different project, googled the issue and the only person who seems to share my pain is...... me, from 8 months ago.

However this time I've solved it!!

The fix is, in Visual Studio (using 2013 here), with your solution open, go to File / Subversion / Change Source Control and browse to the correct SCC Binding Path for your solution folder. Click Connect and it fixed the issue.
