svnadmin dump w/o stopping repository access

Hello all,

Can svnadmin dump be run without stopping all repository access? I've been very conservative in the past, only running svnadmin dump after stopping repository access, e.g.:

# apachectl stop
# svnadmin dump . | bzip2 > dump.bz2
# apachectl start

I'd like to be able to run svnadmin dump as part of a post-commit hook, which basically requires the repository to remain up. I know you can issue svnlook commands but I'm not sure about svnadmin.

Thanks,
Scott
