Move svn repository to new location

Solution

On the server, the svn repositories are stored under normal directories. You instuct subversion to “dump” the data from you source repository and “load” it into new location.

Suppose, you current repository location is : /home/svn/repositories/svn/repo1
and you want to move you repository to /home/svn/repositories/svn/scc

Do:

svnadmin dump /home/svn/repositories/svn/repo1 > ~/repo1.dmp
cd /home/svn/repositories/svn
svn create scc
svnadmin load scc< ~/repo1.dmp
