I would do something like:

- Backup the current working copy to somewhere safe
- Remove every .svn folder from the working copy (thereby making it
  unversioned)
- Checkout a fresh working copy from the repository
- Copy the unversioned copy into the fresh working copy
- Commit the differences, creating r61
- Perform a fresh checkout on the rest of the clients
