If all deployed clients are >= 1.7, HTTP redirects from old server to the
new server will take of moving clients over to the new server automatically:
http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.7.html#http-redirects

This only matters if the URL has changed, of course. If you can switch the
server while keeping the URL intact, that's even better.
