DISCLAIMER: This is an official hack suggestion. Make sure you back up your repository.
1. svnadmin dump repos > dumpfile
2. mv repos old_repos
3. svnadmin create repos
4. svn mkdir -m "Making trunk" file:///path/to/repos
5. Now, edit dumpfile in your favorite editor:
a. Prepend "trunk/" to all "Node-path:" values
b. If you have copy-from information anywhere, also prepend
"trunk/" to any copy-from-paths, and remember to increment
copy-from-revisions by 1.
c. finally, remove the whole entry from Revision 0
6. svnadmin load repos < dumpfile
Piece o' cake.
Lemme know how it turns out for you (I tried it on a repos with no
copy-from stuff, and it worked fine).
