I've got a SVN Repository that has moved to a new address/path. However, I've got a working copy with uncommitted source code still pointing to the old (now invalid) repository path. How do you change a working copy to point at a new repository?

I had changed my svn server to force redirect everything from HTTP to HTTPS (and it could have been a redirect to any other URL), and I noticed that this svn relocate command was causing lots of problems with externals. Fortunately I found that the easiest thing was to just do an svn update and due to the redirect of the svn server, it updated all the URLs store in the local working copy, including the externals.
