The history of the repository will remain untouched if you rename the
repository.
Of course you will need access to the server to do this.
You just need to "switch relocate" all working copies to the new URL.

Just to make sure - is "repoe5r" the repository, or a directory within a
repository named "svn"?
(my answered assumed it is a repository)
