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.
