That was going to be my suggestion as well. > Which isn't possible, as the logically same repo is used by working > copies as public or private repo currently.

What pair of working copies are you talking about? You said you used to have two servers with two synced sets of repositories with two different UUIDs and now want to move to a single server with a single set of repositories. Since changing the UUIDs of the public working copies directly is not a feature offered by Subversion, and since checking out new working copies for your public users is difficult to coordinate, as you explained, then it should be easier to change the repositories on the formerly private server to have the UUIDs of those on the now decommissioned public server, that way all your public users' working copies continue to work as before, and you would just need to check out new working copies for those hopefully fewer and more technically capable internal users who were using the formerly private server with its old UUIDs.
