Yeah, there's no need to check out the entire repo. Just rename it
remotely.

Unix command line example:

If $R is your repository...

        export R=http://svn.example.org

...then you can rename like this:

        svn mv $R/old-project-name $R/new-project-name \
        -m "Renaming old-project-name to new-project-name"

Then everyone with a working copy of that project will need to do a
switch:

        svn switch $R/new-project-name

On Windows, TortoiseSVN can likely do these tasks for you as well.
