How to configue working copy in SVN?

Question

I have to check out an existing SVN repository of 40 GB

The SVN is exposed over HTTP and transfer rate is very slow(20 KB / Sec).

So I got the working copy through an external hard disk. Now, How do I tell the copied version to synchronize with the SVN repository?

I'm using Tortoise SVN.

Let me know for further information.

Answer 1

If you copied the whole sandbox (all files including all.svn directories) you just have to rightclick and update. If this doesn't work, use the tortoisesvn-relocate command on the base directory and specify the url of the repository. Then try again updating.

Answer 2

As long as the working copy has been create from the same repository, a simple svn update will do. Tortoise should also recognize the directory as a working copy.
