This evening I had to rename a project folder, since I was creating a site with the same name.
Since I had the project (application) under Subversion, I also needed to move the repository.
Here's what I did:
svnadmin create b:\repos\_newName_
svnadmin dump b:\repos\_oldName_ > b:\repos_dump\_oldName_.dump
svnadmin load b:\repos\_newName_ < b:\repos_dump\_oldName_.dump
At this point I could either checkout the repository, or change where the checked out directory points to.
I choose to relocate my working copy by right-clicking on my working directory and selecting Relocate from the TortoiseSVN menu. Point it to the new directory, and rename your working directories name, and you're set.
