Don't mess with working copies at all; just issue a series of server-
side commands:

svn mkdir URL-to-/repos/project
svn mkdir URL-to-/repos/project/trunk
svn mv URL-to-/repos/module1 URL-to-/repos/project/trunk/
svn mv URL-to-/repos/module2 URL-to-/repos/project/trunk/

Users can either checkout fresh working copies, or they can 'svn
switch' to the new location:

svn switch URL-to-/repos/project/trunk/module1
