You can "svnadmin dump" your laptop's repository and "svnadmin load"
it into the central repository.

Or, if you don't care about the history of your repository, you can
"svn export" the head of your repository and "svn import" it into the
central repository.

Both methods are good for one-time transfers of projects from one
place to the other. If you want to now continue using your laptop
repository, and later bring the central repository up to date with
the new changes you've made, I think you've got a lot more fun in store.

There is another project, svk, which is based on svn, which is
designed to allow multiple repositories to coexist with one another.
Perhaps that's what you're looking for.
