I had the same idea, here's the result:

svn: Invalid filesystem path syntax
svn: svn_repos_dir_delta: invalid editor anchoring; at least one of the 
input paths is not a directory and there was no source entry

Yes, it's a horrible error message, but what's really happening (I
think) is that 'svn up' is trying to delete your entire working copy
(since the path it represents no longer exists.)  We don't allow the
deletion of a working-copy root.

Just do a fresh checkout of the new URL, and copy your modified files
from the old working copy to the new one.
