No! That's asking for trouble! If you created the repository with an
old version of Subversion it would not have had a format file, but it
also used a different format for the repository database tables. You
need to follow the upgrade procedure: use an old version of svnadmin
to dump the repository, and a new version of svnadmin to load the dump
into a new repository.
