You have to use svn switch --relocate, which changes the working copy's notion
of the repository location. If your repository moved from
http://old.example.com/svn to http://new.example.com/svn, then run this in
your working copy:

svn switch --relocate http://old.example.com/svn http://new.example.com/svn .

This is the command you would run no matter where in the repository your
working copy corresponds to. That is, if your working copy is from
http://old.example.com/svn/proj/trunk, do *not* include the "/proj/trunk"
part. (I always find the syntax for svn switch --relocate somewhat confusing,
so that's why I'm being so explicit.)
