Actually I think, you should use only "svn switch" in our case cause the 
new location is still in the same repository..
If I try to relocate my wc with TortoiseSVN I get an error

"It seems you are trying to *relocate* your working copy to a different 
path inside the same repository.

From: https://svn.typo3.org/FLOW3/Distribution/trunk
To: https://svn.typo3.org/FLOW3/Distributions/Base/trunk

A relocate is only needed if the path *to* a repository has changed.
Changeing to a different path *inside* a repository is done by a switch 
operation.

Improper use of relocate *will corrupt your working copy!* [...]"

The docs state:

"This is a very infrequently used operation. The relocate command is 
only used if the URL of the repository root has changed. Possible 
reasons are:

- The IP address of the server has changed.

- The protocol has changed (e.g. http:// to https://).

- The repository root path in the server setup has changed.

Put another way, you need to relocate when your working copy is 
referring to the same location in the same repository, but the 
repository itself has moved."
