I don't know what you mean when you say that Apache/WebDAV seem to
require a name for the repository. It seems like you have configured
Apache like this:
<Location /acmerepos/>
...
</Location>
Thus saying that everything under the web path /acmerepos behaves
like a Subversion repository. You could just as easily use <Location /
> instead (assuming you have nothing else at data1.acme.com). So you
wouldn't actually have to change anything in the repo.
That said, having only a single top-level directory svnrepo inside
the repository doesn't seem like a very useful idea to me, so I'd
change it.

I don't think you can use the asterisk in that manner. As far as I
know, Subversion does not interpret any asterisk for you. The
asterisk only works because the shell expands it before the arguments
are passed to Subversion. In this case, the shell has no idea how to
expand an asterisk at the end of an svn:// URL.
You would need to execute one svn move statement for each directory
that you want to move. If you have very many directories and don't
want that many commits, you could pull down the entire repository
into a single monolithic working copy. But if you have many braches
or tags or very large projects then this might be prohibitive.
After you move the project directories in this manner, anybody who
has a working copy of those projects will have to execute an svn
switch command to switch the working copy to the new location.
