I tried this, and it mostly worked. The problem I had was that
the directory structure of the repo I wished to move was this:

        Parent/
                file
                dir1
                dir2
                dir3

When I used svnadmin load --parent-dir foo I got:

        foo/
            dir1
            dir2
            dir3

But no 'file' for some reason.

I ended up doing:

        svnadmin create new-repo
        svn mkdir new-repo/subdir
        svnadmin dump oldrepo > oldrepo.svn
        svn load new-repo < oldrepo.svn
        svn co new-repo
        cd new-repo
        svn mv file subdir
        svn mv dir1 subdir
        etc.

It worked, and I retained all of my history. It was just a little
more tedious than I would have expected. It appears that the
--parent-dir option mostly works, as long as the parent dir only
contains other subdirs and not files.
