networking repositories

I am trying to decide if subversion is going to meet my needs. There is one
sticking point I am not sure about from the documentation. Can someone
please advise me if I am correct or not.

Basically, I will be working at a mixture of my desktop machine and on a
laptop. At home, these are networked - but I work away from home with my
laptop during the week not connected to any network, and want to version
manage the software development I am working on whilst away.

I was thinking that I could set up a local repository on my laptop and another
repository on my desktop (local or remote?). The question I cannot really
understand, is can I synchronise them in someway by doing

svnadmin dump <laptop-repos> | svnadmin load <desktop-repos>

and vica versa.

I think it must be more complex than that - in that I probably need to detect
revision numbers in some way so ensure transactions don't get duplicated.

The other approach I was thinking of was just a raw dump of the repository
files - but this has two disadvantages. One that will be a lot of data to
transfer, and secondly - what do I do if I have forgotten to do the transfer
before I go away - I can't merge transactions when I get back.

Any advice?
