We moved our repository to a new server, but didn't update the svn:externals

Consider using svndumptool to rewrite all your svn:externals properties into
the form that doesn't use the complete repository URL, but rather uses relative
URLs.

See the section beginning "Also, absolute URLs can cause problems":

Thanks. I will consider that, provided I can get some downtime to
perform a dump/rewrite/load cycle, probably at the same time upgrade
server to 1.9.x.
The main problem right now is people trying to checkout/update a path
with a invalid external doesn't wait long enough to get the error.
Also TortoiseSVN repository browser hangs when trying to browse to a
folder with an invalid external (probably also for about 5 minutes,
hasn't checked).
Seems like a bug to me.
