Is it safe to rename a repository?

[Jens Peters <jp...@gmx.de>]

Hello,

is it safe to rename a repository after creating it and after doing a 
lot of svn actions on it?

- svnadmin create myrepos
- "doing a lot of svn actions"
- ren myrepos mynewrepos
- svn switch --relocate myrepos mynewrepos

Or is the name somewhere stored inside the db and doing this is a call 
for problems?

The setup is:
- Subversion 1.1.3 via Apache.
- BDB 4.2 as backend

Regards,
Jens

The switch command was just pseudo-code, I know there has to be the full 
url :)
Thanks for your answer.

The switch coommand above is wrong. The paths should be URLs, but else it
should be safe to move or rename a repository. The repository doesn't
store its location on disk (assuming you don't have any hook scripts with
hard-coded paths:-).
