My current SVN structure:
Path: .

Repository Root: svn://someaddress.com.tr
Repository UUID: -------------------------------------
Revision: 10297

But our project (hence the SVN service) will work over sub.someaddress.com.tr instead of someaddress.com.tr (someaddress.com.tr will be redirected to somewhere else soon).
Since it is the development server, I could not be sure about what to do. Will I need to use svn switch or svn switch --relocate? Also, will I need to switch svn root someaddress.com.tr or the project branch someaddress.com.tr/project?
Given that the Apache Subversion server will be moved to this new DNS alias: sub.someaddress.com.tr:
With Subversion 1.7 or higher, use svn relocate. Relocate is used when the SVN server's location changes. switch is only used if you want to change your local working copy to another branch or another path. If using TortoiseSVN, you may follow instructions from the TortoiseSVN Manual. If using the SVN command line interface, refer to this section of SVN's documentation. The command should look like this:
svn relocate svn://sub.someaddress.com.tr/project
Keep using /project given that the actual contents of your repository probably won't change.
Note: svn relocate is not available before version 1.7 (thanks to ColinM for the info). In older versions you would use:
svn switch --relocate OLD NEW
