At present hacking the entries file is the only way, in the past I have
used

$ find . -path \*/.svn/entries | xargs perl -i -pe 's/(url=")URL1/$1URL2/'

Modifying the entries file introduces the possibility that the working
copy and repository will get out of sync, so a complete client
solution would involve some form of check that the new URL matched the
current working copy. Mark Benedetto King posted a patch last month
that implemented URL rewriting without any checking code.
