Question about duplicate UUIDs

I just split my repos into 2 using svnadmin dump -> svndumpfilter -> 
svnadmin create / load.  However, both repos now have the same UUID.

Will this cause a problem?  If so, can I easily change the UUID on one 
of the repos?

I don't know if changing the uuid file is dangerous.

Yes, any UUID change will.

This is a fsfs repos, so, any harm in just changing the uuid file?

Would this break any checked-out projects with un-commited local mods?
