You can try making a hot-copy
(http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/re33.html) and then do a svndump of
everything *after* you made a hot copy (using -r switch) and restore
that on the new server. this way the incrementals will be pretty small
and you can get the job done in the 10 minute period.

You can always ask your users not to commit anything during the migration :)
