I think that moving to svn:// is a good idea.

Subclipse has included support for svn switch --relocate since version
0.9.100. Just go to the repositories view, right click on your file://
repository and take the Relocate option. This will let you enter the new
svn:// URL and will also relocate any working copies in your workspace
that were using the file:// URL.
