Use something like:

  mv /path/to/repository /path/repos.old
  svnadmin dump -r0:12345 /path/repos.old | svnadmin load /path/repos

Read this section of the book.

  http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch05s03.html#svn-ch-5-sect-3.1.2

Search the mailing list archives for "svnadmin" "dump" and "load" and
you should fine various examples. This is a very similar problem to
the one of changing underlying database formats.
