Hi,
Would the following approach for svn switch --relocate 
(even for current git clones):

1)If svn-remote.svn.rewriteRoot does not exist in config file:
    git config svn-remote.svn.rewriteRoot <currentRepository>

2)If svn-remote.svn.rewriteUUID does not exist in config file:
    git config svn-remote.svn.rewriteUUID <currentRepositoryUUID>
 
  currentRepositoryUUID can be obtained from .git/svn/metadata

3) git config svn-remote.svn.url <newRepository>

If the above works, it would be much simpler than other solutions 
that have been proposed for svn repo relocations.
