So, I think the disconnect stems from my (apparent) misunderstanding that
you were seeking an automated solution that was available *today* to this
very incubator graduate. Something that would allow the users of that
codebase to effectively not even really notice that the project has been
moved elsewhere in the repository. Sorry for not noticing that the thread
had shifted into a consideration of some as-yet-uncharted future.

Well, I see this (using an 1.8.0-dev Subversion client):

But I suspect that's not precisely what you see.
From this I gather the server has issued a Redirect. Indeed, from a
wireshark trace, I see the Redirect was of the 301 variety and contains this
header:
Location: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openmeetings
So, looks good so far. It seems the client has a problem properly parsing
the header -- something we need to fix if that hasn't been done already.

Oh, I'm not saying that it can't be done using some future version of
Subversion that chooses switch or relocate as needed. (See
"misunderstanding" above.)

Agreed.
