Try

1. backup repository
2. svnadmin dump REPOSITORY > dumpfile
3. edit the dumpfile (huge textfile)
4. rm -rf REPOSITORY # you have a backup, right???
5. svnadmin create REPOSITORY
6. svnadmin load REPOSITORY < dumpfile

BE CAREFULL. I have not tried exactly these command. I just wrote them down.

have fun!
