[jira] [Created] (SVN-4876) Cannot change level within SVN repo

Sebb created SVN-4876:
-------------------------

             Summary: Cannot change level within SVN repo
                 Key: SVN-4876
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4876
             Project: Subversion
          Issue Type: Bug
         Environment: Scenario:
Start with:

/www/svn.apache.org:  http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/svn/site

Checks out fine

Change the site so it is now located here:

/www/svn.apache.org:  http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/svn/site/publish

svnwcsub.py fails with:

svn: E195012: 'https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/sites/lsvn/site/publish' shares no common ancestry with '/www/svn.apache.org'\n"

A similar issue occurs with changing up a level, e.g. from site/publish to site.

The solution is to add --ignore-ancestry to the svn switch command.

This should either be the default, or at least it should be possible to enable it via a command-line flag or configuration option.
