[svk-users]does mirror --relocate work?

[Tony Wu]

Hi kevin,

sorry I posted the incorrect cmd line.
it should be

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>svk mirror --relocate //m
http://9.181.106.169/repos/branches/m
Can't relocate: mirror subdirectory changed from /m to /branches/m.

what can I do for this status?
