How about this:
Make sure you have backed things up and have checked your changes in,
but not in that order.
Check out a wc somewher temporary.
cd $tmpdir
svn co $repo
create an httpd directory or even better, put in in a trunk dir.
svn mkdir trunk
svn mkdir trunk/httpd
Move all your files.
for i in *; do if [ "$i" = 'trunk' ]; then continue; fi svn mv "$i"
trunk/httpd; done
Switch your httpd to point to the new repository.
cd /etc/httpd
svn switch $repos/trunk/httpd
svn update
