svn relocate/move (repo not wc)
am running outta space and need to move the repo,
svn switch --relocate file:////usr/svn-etc file:///var/svn/etc
svn: The repository at 'file:///var/svn/etc/etc' has uuid '974675a8-
c30b-0410-8a05-83431ef311a2', but the WC has '4b58393f-330b-0410-bebe-
a89525468735'
so whats the proper way to move a repo that will not touch the wc.

No need to look into the source code to discover that.
$ svnadmin help load
load: usage: svnadmin load REPOS_PATH
Read a 'dumpfile'-formatted stream from stdin, committing
new revisions into the repository's filesystem. If the repository
was previously empty, its UUID will, by default, be changed to the
one specified in the stream. Progress feedback is sent to stdout.

Ahh, now that I look at the code, the UUID record in the dumpfile will
be used even without a --force-uuid flag, if the repository is empty
when you start the load. If it already has content you have to force
it, although if that's the case doing so is probably a bad thing,
since now the rev numbers will be out of sync, so your new repository
will claim to be the same as the old one (by having hte same UUID),
but will in actuality be different, most likely breaking all sorts of
stuff.

I've done several repository moves recently from one server to another
server where all I did was "svnadmin load newrepos <oldrepos.dump". The
users then simply selected TortoiseSVN>Relocate, entered the new URL and
all worked happily. So why did it not fall over for me without forcing
the UUID on the new repository?

You need to make sure the version of the repos in the new location is
IDENTICAL to the old one, including the UUID. If you are doing the
move via a dump/load, that means using the --force-uuid flag to
svnadmin load when loading into your new (empty) repository on the new
machine. If you're loading your data into an existing repository
(which by definition has a different UUID) you CANNOT migrate working
copies via switch --relocate, it simply will not work.
