That's true.

But this isn't.
If you really want to, you could use something like this:
cd repository
mv db 42_db
mkdir db
cp 42_db/DB_CONFIG db/
cp 42_db/fs-type db/ # if it exists
cd 42_db
for i in *s; do
db4.2_dump $i | db4.1_load -h ../db $i
done
cd ..
svnadmin recover .
NOTE: Since you just started a BDB transactional logging environment with
content pre-loaded into the database tables, a complete set of log.000*
files from 1 to the end is *not* a complete backup in this case.
HOWEVER: You probably should compile subversion against 4.2.52, *and use it
in preference to your current svn w/ 4.1.25*. The general experience among
subversion users has been that 4.2 is noticably more stable than 4.1.
