How to modify repository settings in Redmine?

It might sound like a dumb question but I can't for the life of me find the answer to this one.

We have a project set up in Redmine and linked to an SVN repository. Everything is working fine, but we recently did a repository relocation and we needed to update its Redmine repository path setting to point to the new repo.

The problem is that the option is grayed out and I can't change it. I suppose you could click on "Delete" and create a new one, but that option really sounds scary to try (the URL has the word /destroy/ in it!!) and I don't want to wipe out the repo. There's no reference I could find about this in the Redmine manual. What should I do?

Also --related to this-- do you know if all ticket references in old commits will still be pointing at the right places?

Ok, I figured out. I created a dummy project with a dummy svn repo to test, and finally clicked that dreaded "Delete" link. It turns out it only deletes a reference to the repository, not the repo itself.

It was an admittedly dumb question, but this should be documented on the Redmine manual :)
