Changing the focus of your Working Copy¶

When working with SVN, you may think of your local development folder as a version-aware copy, focused on a certain area of the SVN.

Most SVN clients support the SWITCH command, which changes the focus of your local working-copy folder to be whatever you tell it.

To successfully develop, the focus of your local development folder must be on the BRANCH that you want to write code for.

Simple - Easy (For TortoiseSVN users)
Right click on the working-copy folder, and select SWITCH. Browse for the current BRANCH you wish to work on, and select it.

For example:
If you wanted to be working on what will become Trunk v2.2.5 when released, you should SWITCH to http://projects.colsolgrp.net/svn/superfecta/branches/v2.2.4.x

If you wanted to be working on what will become Trunk v3.0.0 when released, you should SWITCH to http://projects.colsolgrp.net/svn/superfecta/branches/v3.0.x

Pay attention. The contents on your local working folder will be deleted, and replaced with the code from the area of the SVN that you switch to. If theres anything in there you want to keep, do it before you use the change command!
