AFAIK... yes. Because working copies associate themselves with the UUID
of the repository and not the repository path.

In the db/ folder of the SVN repository, there is a file called "uuid"
which contains a long string of hexadecimal digits. I'm 99% sure that
this is what the working copy cares about, so as long as the alternate
access path (i.e. using svn isntead of svn+ssh) returns that same UUID,
the working copy shouldn't care.

And if you look in the .svn/_svn folder in your working copy, and
examine the "entries" file, you'll see that UUID repeated.

(I think this is mentioned in the SVN book or documentation, probably
under administration.)
