patching properties

Hello,

I'd like to commit uncommitted changes from a working copy checked out
from a repository that has been moved to a new server and the existing
server is no more authoritative.

I don't have svnadmin access to the new server, so committing to the old
server, dumping the revision and loading it into the new repo will have
to go through the admins and will take too much time. So would be
editing properties of 83 entries manually.

Other possible solutions I see are:

* Edit .svn/entries and check in to the new repo. Is this safe for one
  commit?

* http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=users&&msgNo=73384
  suggests that it is possible with stock svn tools. I've built 1.5.0
  alpha2 for Cygwin, but couldn't see how to invoke that feature. Is
  this already implemented? If yes, where (branch name, revision)?

* Write a quick and dirty script to parse the output of svn diff.

What is my best option?

Thanks in advance,
