Drat, I forgot about that bug in BDB 4.2's db_dump.

If you haven't deleted a_new_repository, then run the procedure below:

cd path/to/my_old_repository
cd ..

for i in revisions uuids; do
  db_dump -r "$i" | egrep -v '^keys=1$' | db_load -h
../../a_new_repository/db "$i"
done

cd ../..
svnadmin recover a_new_repository
svnadmin verify a_new_repository

If you have deleted a_new_repository, then the *full* procedure would be:

cd path/to/my_old_repository
cd ..
svnadmin create --fs-type=bdb a_new_repository
cd a_new_repository/db
rm *s __db.* log.*
cd ../../my_old_repository/db
for i in changes copies nodes representations strings transactions; do
  db_dump -r "$i" | db_load -h ../../a_new_repository/db "$i"
done
for i in revisions uuids; do
  db_dump -r "$i" | egrep -v '^keys=1$' | db_load -h
../../a_new_repository/db "$i"
done
cd ../..
svnadmin recover a_new_repository
svnadmin verify a_new_repository
