It's important to know what you feel a 'repotting' is. If you are simply potting up, w/o disturbing the roots, it can be done at almost anytime. If your 'repot' is the same as mine, and includes substantial root pruning/reduction, it would be best to undertake that chore prior to pruning the canopy. This represents an evolution in thinking, lead by bonsai practitioners who have learned that it is best to maximize photosynthate production and auxin output by leaving the canopy intact until roots have regenerated. After the root system has stabilized and the plants vitality has returned, you can reduce the canopy practically at will in areas with warm temps & good light, though you'll need to be a little more judicious where you live. ;o).

I'm thinking that you would be best served to undertake the repot when the plant has begun to grow in earnest (maybe in mid May - early Jun), and reduce the canopy in early to mid Jul.
