We have renamed repositories a few times. Any svn:externals references
to the old name will have to be updated and build scripts that do
automated checkouts need to be reviewed as well. If you do use
svn:externals be aware that old revisions that get from the old
repository name won't work anymore. Other than that, I can't think of
any issues.
