To update the working copy to a different URL use the Switch option ( -> (Alt+S) ). This option updates your working copy to mirror a new URL—usually a URL which shares a common ancestor with your working copy, although not necessarily. This is the subversion way to move a working copy to a new branch.
After "switching" to the branch, your working copy is no different than what you would get from doing a fresh checkout of the directory. It is usually more efficient to use this command, because often branches only differ by a small degree. The server sends only the minimal set of changes necessary to make your working copy reflect the branch directory. The Switch dialog provides the following fields:
The URL against which the working copy will be updated.
Select the radio button and enter a value equal to a revision number. KEYWORDS are supported:
The latest revision in the repository.
The "pristine" revision of an item in a working copy.
The last revision in which an item changed before (or at) BASE.
The revision just before the last revision in which an item changed. (Technically, COMMITTED - 1.)
Select the radio button and enter a value equal to a revision date or time. Specify date or time using any of the following syntax:
2004-02-17
15:30
15:30:00.200000
2004-02-17 15:30
