Dump/load cycle required!

If you have Subversion repositories that you can't afford to lose, you
will, as of revision 2491, need to perform a dump/load cycle on those
repositories.

Depending on the age of your repositories, you need to do slightly
different things. If your repositories were created with a version of
svnadmin prior to 2092:

  - Why did you not do this dump/load the last time we told you about
    it? No matter. Download the subversion-r2092d.tar.gz from the
    "Releases" folder of the "File sharing" page at
    http://subversion.tigris.org.

  - Build the tarball.

  - Use the `svnadmin' you just built to generate a dumpfile for each
    of your repositories.
      
If, like most of us, your repositories have already been dump/loaded
post-2092, or were created with revision of Subversion between 2092
and 2490:
        
  - Download the subversion-r2402.tar.gz from the "Releases" folder of
    the "File sharing" page at http://subversion.tigris.org.

  - Build the tarball.

  - Use the `svnadmin' you just built to generate a dumpfile for each
    of your repositories.

In both cases, you will now want to move your old repositories out of
the way, and then run `svnadmin create REPOS_NAME' to recreate them as
empty repositories, then `svnadmin load REPOS_NAME < REPOS_DUMP_FILE'
to re-load all your old revisions and such into the new empty
repositories.
