Here's a script I wrote to automate this for me, as I have a number of
separate repos.

 #!/usr/bin/perl -w

 use strict;
 use File::Basename;
 use File::Path;

 my ($old, $new, $version) = @ARGV;

 die "Need old repo path, old repo version, and new repo path as arguments."
     unless $old && $new && $version;

 my $static_exe = "svnadmin-$version-1";
 my $path_to_exe = `which $static_exe`;
 chomp $path_to_exe;
 die "Cannot find $static_exe executable."
     unless -x $path_to_exe;

 foreach my $old_repo ( glob "$old/*" )
 {
     next unless -d $old_repo;

     my $mode = (stat _)[2];

     my $new_repo = "$new/" . basename($old_repo);

     unless ( -d $new_repo )
     {
         mkpath( $new_repo, 1 );

         # we really want to recreate the old permissions exactly.
         umask 0000;
         chmod $mode, $new_repo
             or die "Cannot chmod $new_repo: $!";
     }

     system( "svnadmin create $new_repo" )
         and die $!;

     system( "$static_exe dump $old_repo | svnadmin load $new_repo" )
         and die $!;
 }
