But there's also stored *which revision you checked out*.
This may be not necessary if you're the only developer - but as soon as two
people work together on one repository *you need to know to which revision*
your changes apply; else your changes can't be automatically merged.
It *may* be enough to do a new checkout and copy your old wc files *without
any .svn directories* over the new wc; but I'd be very cautious and use a lot
of "svn diff" to check that I won't overwrite changes done by somebody else.
