svn commit error

I wanted to commit to a repository but whenever i tried the “svn commit” command. I was getting the following error.
svn: Server sent unexpected return value (500 Internal Server Error) in response to MKACTIVITY request for’ ‘
Well I did not understand what the error was till i checked the svn info.
The error was because I had checked out the code using http protocol and hence I had not been authorized to commit. So what I did was checkout the code again using https protocol.
However my senior told me that the right way is to do “svn switch”.

svn switch NEW_URL
