You would need to "svn propedit svn:externals" and change the URL
from http to https. Then an "svn update" should fix the external
directory. I think. And then (or before the update) you can "svn
commit" the change.
The problem with this is that if you ever want to check out an
earlier version of the project, the external URL will be wrong. An
alternative is to dump the entire repository to a txt file, transform
the file to fix all the existing external URLs, and load it into a
new repository. I believe svndumptool can help you with this task:
