Here's how I do it:

"svnadmin dump" the repository to a backup file before upgrading.

Rename the repository directory.

Upgrade the binaries.

svnadmin create the repository

svnadmin load the backup into the repository

Make sure everything works, then get rid of the old directory.

Be sure to shutdown and remote user access to the repository during
this process.

I hope that helps.

Patrick
