You have a repository directory on disk. It sounds like it used to be
called /home/my_new_repos/MY_REPO but my whatever means you changed
the name of the directory to home/my_new_repos_/MY_REPO. You can
change the name back if you like, of course, using your normal
operating system rename facilities.
When you start svnserve, you usually tell it to start as a daemon and
to restrict access to a specific on-disk directory. In your case:
svnserve -d -r /home/my_new_repos_/MY_REPO
You start as a daemon, and set the repository root to /home/
my_new_repos_/MY_REPO because that is currently the on-disk path to
the repository.
If you want to rename the repository back to /home/my_new_repos/
MY_REPO then do so, and change to starting svnserve with that path:
svnserve -d -r /home/my_new_repos/MY_REPO
To check out from this repository, you use the svn protocol and the
hostname or IP address of the server, e.g.:
svn co svn://192.168.1.100/
Anything after that is a path _within_ the repository.
It sounds like you have a directory my_new_repos _inside_ your
repository, and another directory MY_REPO inside that. This is
peculiar and I'm guessing not what you meant to do.
To verify this, you could do
svn ls file:///home/my_new_repos_/MY_REPO
I expect it will say "my_new_repos", meaning a directory
"my_new_repos" exists at the top level of your MY_REPO repository.
What you probably want to do is get rid of those two extra levels of
directories inside the repository. To do so, move everything from
svn://192.168.1.100/my_new_repos/MY_REPO to svn://192.168.1.100/
using "svn mv" commands (or, presumably you could do so using drag-n-
drop in TortoiseSVN; I'm not familiar with that tool) and then you
can "svn rm" (or, in TortoiseSVN, somehow delete) the now-unneeded
my_new_repos directory inside your repository.
