How to change the owner of a working copy.
I have an svn repository that was checked out by user1 and I would
like to change that working copy to be owned by user2, so that user2
can perform updates and commits to and from that working copy. I do
not want to delete the working copy and check out a new one with
user2.
Is there any way to change the owner of the working copy?

Not only that, but if you use svn+ssh access through a single
multiplexed account (with individual keys in the .ssh/authorized_keys
file), svnserve will start up in tunnel mode using the new user's
identity, based on that user's ssh key.
In my setup, all the users use the same Host alias in their respective
.ssh/config files, so all of us have an identical
svn+ssh://hostname
prefix on our subversion checkouts.

Subversion doesn't store the active user in the working copy. Subversion
uses the user credentials cached in $HOME/.subversion for the specific
repository. (Credentials are not bound to a working copy).
And as far as I can tell the -u argument is only used by 'svn status'.
The subversion argument to specify an explicit user is --username; but as
you most likely don't share a home directory with the other user, this is
not necessary.

but you'll probably want to use the -u flag when commiting changes
so that the changes are commited by the new user rather than
the old user (as recorded in .svn/entries)

Thanks, problem was solved by changing ownership of the .svn directories mainly.

It's just files and directories on your disk, so change the ownership
the same way you do for any other item in your OS, e.g. chown on Unix-
like OSes or I don't know what on Windows.

I don't think there is an owner to working copy; user2 can start using
working copy as it is.
Having said that I would like to add sharing working copy among user is not
recommended.
