My friend, you have quite a bit of dumping and loading in your
future. :-)

Go to the "file sharing" area of the svn website, and click on the
'source tarballs' section.

You'll need to download the 2092g, 2402d, 3200 sourceballs.

Build each sourceball with --disable-shared, and set each statically
linked 'svnadmin' binary aside.

Use the 2092g svnadmin to 'svnadmin dump' your repository.

Use the 2402d svnadmin to 'svnadmin load' into a new repository.

Use the 2402d svnadmin to 'svnadmin dump' the new repository.

Use the 3200 svnadmin to 'svnadmin load' into an even newer repository.

Have fun!
