This is overly complex. 'svnadmin dump/load' both use only the public
svn_fs.h API, which hasn't really changed. Just go ahead and build
the latest svn, and go ahead and dump/load afterwards:

  $ svn up
  $ make && make install
  $ svnadmin dump repo > dumpfile
  $ svnadmin create newrepo
  $ svndamin load newrepo < dumpfile
  $ mv repo trash; mv newrepo repo

If you're feeling really playful:

  $ svnadmin create newrepo
  $ svnadmin dump repo | svnadmin load newrepo
