SVN change username

The easiest way to do this is to simply use the --username option on your next checkout or commit. For example:

svn commit --username newUser

or

svn co --username newUser

It will then be cached and will be used as the default username for future commands.

You can change the user with

• Subversion 1.6 and earlier:

  svn switch --relocate protocol://currentUser@server/path protocol://newUser@server/path
  

• Subversion 1.7 and later:

  svn relocate protocol://currentUser@server/path protocol://newUser@server/path
  

To find out what protocol://currentUser@server/path is, run

svn info

in your working copy.
