I'll add that several subsections of "Repository Maintenance" of Chapter 5 of the Subversion book are relevant, especially [1] and [2]. [1] Migrating Repository Data Elsewhere: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.reposadmin.maint.html#svn.reposadmin.maint.migrate [2] Repository Replication: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.reposadmin.maint.html#svn.reposadmin.maint.replication (In this case I think [1] is the more relevant of these.)
