How to change the location of your SVN repository

We recently moved our SVN repositories to a bigger and better server. Long story short, we were not able to keep the same address, which didn't seem like such a big deal. One would think that a simple right click on the project->properties would be the simple fix, however it wasn't. After spending some time on it, I finally figured it out and decided to share. While I found several solutions on the net, I think this is the easiest of them all. 

We at Techlicity use Aptana (flavor of Eclipse) with SubClipse plugin.

From the project explorer, right click and goto Team->disconnect. A prompt will appear asking if you would like to remove all SVN meta information (.svn files/folder). Agree to remove the SVN meta information.

Your project will now be disconnected from the SVN repo.

Right click on your project and goto Team ->Share project.
You may now follow the instructions for your rew repository. At the end it will prompt you if you would like to checkout in the same directory, say yes.

For techlicity members: when it asks for Folder name, choose to specified a folder name and Select one from the repo.
