can i physically move a repository to another location/host?
while i'm away from work for a few days, i want to create, from
scratch, a number of repos for co-workers to start using when i get
back. is there any problem with building those repos on my laptop,
then just physically copying them (rsync?) to the server when i get
back? that is, is there anything hard-coded in the repositories
themselves regarding their current host/location?
(since no one will have been checking them out, i don't need to
worry about users needing to do a "svn switch --relocate". they'll be
seeing these things for the first time.)

"svnadmin recover" was part of the BDB specific section.

not a problem, they're moving from one FC3 system to another, and i'm
using FSFS.

gotcha. thanks.

No, *but*:
If these are going to be BDB repositories, the same version of BDB must be
in use on both your laptop and the server, and they should both have the
same endian-ness (i.e. Don't mix Apple and x86). Additionally, run "svnadmin
recover" before and after the move.
If they will be FSFS repositories, then there are no special concerns.
