Repositories cannot share information or history. I don't think there
are any plans to do this -- not that I'm aware of. You can certainly
always export trees from one repository, re-import it to another. But
it will be no different than just importing a vendor tarball. The
repositories will not refer to one another.

No, you cannot copy or move data between repositories. And if you want
specific answers, you'l have to show us what you mean by "the target
repository gets corrupted". If you try to run 'svn mv/cp URL1 URL2' and
the two URLs represent different repositories, you should get a simple
error. There's nothing that should cause BerkeleyDB to wedge. Show us
details.
