should I/how do I migrate a 1.3 repository to a 1.4 repo?

[Th...@putnam.com]

hello,

we are currently running 1.3.0 under apache.

if we move to 1.4, should we create a repo with 1.4?

and if so, is there a way to migrate our projects in the 1.3 repo
to a repo built under 1.4?

we're using fsfs, not db.

Thanks for your help.
Tom Perry

I upgraded mine and got some decent disk space savings.  It is easy to do:
svnadmin dump /svn/repos > repos.dump
mv /svn/repos /svn/repos.old
svnadmin create /svn/repos
svnadmin load --force-uuid /svn/repos < repos.dump

and you're done.  You'll incur a downtime for repos access between the
second step and the last step.

You do not have to create a new repo with 1.4... you can continue to use 
    the existing ones without problem, but you wont benefit from the new 
repository delta algorithms (smaller repo size and faster network 
operations).

If you want to gain these new benefits, you will need to do a dump/load 
(and create the new repo with 1.4 svnadmin).

See the following for more details:
http://subversion.tigris.org/svn_1.4_releasenotes.html#svndiff1

You might find the following helpful as well. It is a link to some 
scripts that someone posted for doing the actual repository upgrade on 
Windows. If you are not on Windows, you can at least see the steps that 
were taken. Apparently these were used to upgrade over 800 repositories 
(sounds well tested to me):
