I have a Jenkins job that checks out code using the [subversion plugin](https://plugins.jenkins.io/subversion/). The url of the repositry has moved and when I update it, the plugin detects there is a difference in the working copy and begins a full checkout of the new address. I think I can get around this by using `svn relocate` but I can’t seem to find any setting that would do this on the plugin itself. Does anyone know if this is possible?

If this is _not_ possible does anyone have any suggestions about how I can go about changing the url in jobs (and on nodes) without culling the entire checkout and starting again. Some jobs are using large repos and this would take a long time.

I have tried to find a place that is more directly relavent to that plugin but i’ve come up empty. Please redirect me if this isn’t an appropriate place. Thanks in advance.
