A berkeley DB 'environment' consists of the __db.* files which are mmaped
into processes using the database.
The version of BDB is coded into these.

Actually, it is possible to use the db_dump tools to get out of this
situation, without recompiling subversion.
It's a little fiddly though - read carefully! :-)
$ svnadmin create newrepos
$ cd newrepos/db
$ rm *s __db.* log.*
Yes, we really did intend to delete a huge chunk of the new repository!
$ cd ../..
$ cd oldrepos/db
$ for dbfile in *s; do
> db4.1_dump $dbfile | db4.2_load -h ../../newrepos/db $dbfile

OK, we just used the fact that the database files are the only ones ending
in the letter s to iterate over them, transferring them from the old format
to the new format. I'm assuming your existing repositories are using db 4.1
here. Test this before hand by trying "db4_stat -e" and "db4.1_stat -e" (run
in directory oldrepos/db), and seeing which one works.
$ cd ../..
$ svnadmin verify newrepos
Assuming that worked, copy across your hooks, set up any permissions you
need, and it's done.
Max.
