Sorry, James, your message got suck in the spam filter.

That's correct, we've retired the alternate server on :8080

You want 'svn switch --relocation

passing --ignore-externals to 'svn checkout' and subsequent 'svn
update' calls will prevent the duplicate checkout. I've not checked
recently, I think it it's also smart enough to use a symlink once
you've made one locally.
