Try disconnecting your projects. Team > Disconnect. Leave the .svn

Then delete all the repository locations for argouml and re-add it.

just connect it up to the repository you created.
OR even easier is to just right-click on each repository location and
do Properties then set the root URL. This is actually how it probably
