I wouldn'n fiddle with the db data ;-)
If your repository is very small you could do a
svnadmin dump/svnadmin load when changing between systems.
Ofcourse, the dump must occour before changing the OS
and the load must be on the new OS.
You could also use incremental dumps for the transfers
(afaik there are some .py scripts to do repo-mirroring)
But there is always a high-risk that you mess up something and
dump/load something (incremental) twice or forget to load it and
commit something in-between...
and all of this will probably only work if you are a 'single user'.
or gather some cheap old 300Mhz PCand run it as your svn server :-)
or, a very different approach would be:
install linux on a virtual machine (VMWare, VirtualPC, maybe WINE)
and run the svn server inside the virtual machine.
you can then access it from the other OS but keep the format
(ofcourse running the VM is a lot slower than a real system)
:-)
c.a.t.
