Does this mean it's _not_ necessary to prevent access to the
repository during 'svnadmin dump'?

On a similar topic, I've heard advice to "take the repository offline"
before backing up.

This may be some basic unix admin thing I just don't know, but having
started svnserve...
  $ svnserve -d -r /path/to/repos
... how do I _stop_ it? I looked at svnserve --help, and a quick
search only turned up advice to kill the process.

Is that really the best way?
