svn switch --relocate gives "PROPFIND request failed"

I'm having trouble running svn switch --relocate on a working copy

$ svn sw --relocate svn://typosphere.org/typo/trunk
http://svn.typosphere.org/typo/trunk typo
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/typo'
svn: PROPFIND of '/typo': 301 Moved Permanently (http://svn.typosphere.org)

Searching through the email list, it seems that this could be due to
Apache configuration

http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2007-03/0625.shtml

I wonder what the best way is to resolve this on the client side. Is
it a very bad idea to dive in and edit the .svn/entries files? Would
a fresh check out from the new URL then merging across diffs from my
current working copy be better?

Thanks,
