I've not done this myself, but you should just need to dump the
repository revisions 1 through 1728, create a new repo and load the
dump file to the new repo.

svnadmin dump -r 1:1728 old_repo_path >dumpfile
svnadmin load new_repo_path <dumpfile

I'd read up on those commands in the manual before you jump right in
though :-)
