Hello All,
I have a SVN repository configured in Continua CI, it checks out the repository to a folder named "xxxxx" automatically. How do I change this name?
The folder names are dependent for the build to run.
Thanks in Advance

You can change this by editing the default Respository Rules on the Stage. The default is :
$Source$ \> Source
Which will checkout each repository into a folder with the repo name under a folder called Source. Change it to something like this :
$Source.XXX$ \> Where/Ever/In/The/Workspace
where XXX is the Repository Name.

BTW, here’s the help for the Repo rules syntax : [http://wiki.finalbuilder.com/display/continua/Repository+Rules](http://wiki.finalbuilder.com/display/continua/Repository+Rules)
