If you've used a repository prefix (or modern equivalent depending on version) for the repository, it should be no worse than: - Stop your developers accessing the server during the move; - Copy the files to the destination, preserving ACLs and ownership if you use Windows permissions to secure your repository; - Change the repository prefix to point to the new location of the repository; - Test; - Allow your developers access to the repository; - Once you're sure it's working, delete the old files. If you have to revert before that point, simply change the prefix back. - Peter
