    1. The development history that was stored in your old repository is lost.

    2. You can create a new repository with the current contents of your working copy, but this will truly be a new repository. You can’t switch to it, not even with --relocate.

    If you’ve already managed to import the contents of your working copy into the new repository, you just need to check it out. If not:

    svn export WORKING_COPY WORKING_COPY.export  # the exported copy will contain no .svn dirs
svn import WORKINGCOPY.export svn://example.com/new-repository
svn checkout svn://example.com/new-repository NEW_WORKING_COPY
