Thanks all for the answers.
Maybe clarify a bit.
There is a setup at my new place with a server with subversion and
apache which I intend to use, but I don't have access to that, just user
access to "my" repo on that server. Just having a local copy on my
machine (which I could get using using the dump form the old server
(where I had admin access) and load that on my new machine) and using
that would not really work since I am out of office a fair bit and need
to access the repo over the net.
So it seems that with user tools an import with the history is not
doable. The way to do it would be asking an admin to load my dump into
the new repo using svnadmin.
Thanks,
Jochen
