Actually when i ran into this problem i manually forced the old repo URL (still active, just points to the new one) and it worked fine. But I’m not sure they’ll keep it up forever so this is a good guide!

Ha! I forgot about the –relocate switch, I did it the hard way zapping the .svn directories

Hey, thanks! I do the same thing… google svn wordpress. I had remembered it being at automattic and when I saw the new location, I knew it was going to cause an error. Thanks for writing up the post. I don’t know why it isn’t on the official wordpress svn docs.

Thanks for posting this fix! Relocating svn repositories isn’t something I do every day either, and your post really helped!
