1.0 is quite old, so you should do this upgrade carefully.

The best idea would be to "dump" your current repository to a  
textfile with "svnadmin dump" using your current v1.0 svnadmin  
program. Then "load" that with "svnadmin load" into a new repository  
created with svnadmin v1.3. See:

http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#dumpload

Note that since Subversion 1.1 you have the choice of two different  
repository backends: BerkeleyDB ("BDB"), which is what you're using  
now, and the newer "FSFS" storage mechanism which became the default  
as of Subversion 1.2. I generally recommend FSFS, as it's usually  
less problematic than BDB, except that there's a problem with FSFS  
and revisions larger than 2GB until the next version of APR comes  
out. So if you have such large commits, or expect to have them, you  
may want to stick with BDB.
