## Name

svnadmin setuuid — Reset the repository UUID.

## Synopsis

`svnadmin setuuid REPOS_PATH [NEW_UUID]`

## Description

Reset the repository UUID for the repository located at `REPOS_PATH`. If `NEW_UUID` is provided, use that as the new repository UUID; otherwise, generate a brand-new UUID for the repository.

## Options

None

## Examples

If you've svnsynced `/var/svn/repos` to `/var/svn/repos-new` and intend to use `repos-new` as your canonical repository, you may want to change the UUID for `repos-new` to the UUID of `repos` so that your users don't have to check out a new working copy to accommodate the change:

    $ svnadmin setuuid /var/svn/repos-new 2109a8dd-854f-0410-ad31-d604008985ab

As you can see, svnadmin setuuid has no output upon success.
