Important Changes to Subversion URLs

In order to provide the most stable environment possible, we need to separate Subversion and our web servers completely. Unfortunately, this means that we must change the URL structure for accessing your Subversion repositories. For instance:

Current: https://svn.account.beanstalkapp.com
New: https://account.svn.beanstalkapp.com

After the initial move we will have both URL options working at the same time. In two weeks, we will move strictly to the new URLs. We recommend that you checkout your repositories with the new URL during this time. A follow up email will be sent one week before and the day of the final change.

Making the switch

In order to make this switch you should follow these steps.

  1. Ask each user to commit his/her latest work to the repository. This will ensure nothing is lost.
  2. Perform a new checkout in a new directory using the new URL format above.
  3. Use Subversion as usual, but within the new directory that you used in the new checkout.
