While the svn switch works for the source side (sort of), it breaks the build tree.

Hi Greg,

absolutely not, the switch is benign as it switches the repo location related to the sources to exactly the same sources i.e. their new repo location. It should have no impact whatsoever on the build tree. Conversely orphaning any work in progress has the worst possible impact on the build tree as it ignores exactly that work in progress.

The repo layout is consistent now, the use of the trunk as the "trunk" and sibling branches and tags directories for multiple branches and tags is the recommended layout for multiple projects inĀ  single repo. For more details see here:

I suspect you are misunderstanding the power of the "svn switch" command, it is able to recognize when the old and new repository paths have a common ancestor, as any branch and tag withng a project will have with each other and with the trunk of the same project, and do exacly what is needed to move smoothly and accurately between them. I do this all the time and have none of the issues you are stating.

Regardsless of the above, the required switch was from the old repository path of some source files to the new location of the same source files.

If the defect is not going to be corrected then those with work in progress have two options, either manually move all their modiied files additions and deletions to the new local disk location or not use the JTSDK scripts to orchestrate svn upadtes and builds. I suspect the former is going to be ok for the majority, let's hope no one was working on a major submission with many changes.
