I don't think the state of what I have checked out matters. As I'd have
to strip out everything ".svn", and then copy just the "content" over
into a new checkout from the old repository. So that's something like:
mv project1 project1.latest
svn co https://oldserver/project1 project1
cd project.latest
find . -type f | grep -v .svn | \
xargs -I '{}' cp -a '{}' ../project1/'{}'
cd ../project1
svn ci project1
No?
