I have a checked out repository on something like 

svn://sub.domain.com/path/to/repo/trunk
and i need to switch to something like 
http://domain.com/path/to/repo/trunk
i've tried the "switch --relocate" command but this is what i get 
svn: Repository moved permanently to 'http://domain.com/path/to/repo/trunk'; please relocate

this is useful, as PhpStorm 8 could not seem to do this from inside the client, and I couldn't remember the command to relocate the repo manually. – Joey T

Check that you have written the right urls and
then try this from the root of the working copy try this:

svn switch --relocate svn:///HOST_1/PATH_1 http://HOST_2/PATH_2

I must to note: --relocate option is deprecated for svn switch, and, as written in error-message, you have to use relocate command

If you must change svn://sub.domain.com to http://domain.com, you can use 1-st form of relocate command

From svn help relocate

relocate FROM-PREFIX TO-PREFIX [PATH...]

...

FROM-PREFIX and TO-PREFIX are initial substrings of the working copy's current and new URLs, respectively.

In your case (in working copy root)

svn relocate svn://sub.domain.com http://domain.com

and check svn info result after relocate
