While moving a subversion repository from one location to another is an infrequent task, it’s good to know and easy to do.

According to dot not

svnadmin dump /path/to/repo > reponame.dump
tar zcf reponame.tgz reponame.dump
scp reponame.tgz hostname:/path/to/new/repo

Then login to the new machine, and set up the new repo:

cd /path/to/new
svnadmin create reponame
tar zxf reponame.tgz
svnadmin load reponame < reponame.dump

Voila, you have moved your repository. Don’t forget to delete your old repository when you have made sure that you are correctly referencing your new repository. Thanks Scott for the help.
