Description Mauro Molinari CLA 2015-11-19 04:11:14 EST 
As a workaround for bug #482561, I relocated my multiproject working copy with an external client and restarted Eclipse.
On the next start, Eclipse correctly realizes that "projectA" has been relocated and asks me what to do.
I choose "Change repository location URL and relocate rest of projects", which is exactly what I want it to do. However, after I hit ok, the exact same prompt about the relocation of "projectA" is shown again and again in a loop.
If I hit "Cancel", then the same prompt for "projectB" is shown, together with a bunch of other errors.

Workaround: hit "Cancel" for all projects. In the end, select all projects, right click, Share | Projects... and confirm to use the repository location found in Subversion metadata on disk.

One problem I find with the mentioned workaround is that Subversive then messes up with the actual repository location and doesn't recognize the project structure of "trunk", "branches" and "tags" any more.
A better workaround (which however requires even more work) is to delete all projects from the workspace (without removing contents on disk), then re-import them from scratch.

Fixed.
