That is a bad idea. Each subversion repository has an internal UUID
(universally unique identifier) so that you can tell them appart.
Just copying an existing repository will seem to work, but you will
end up with multiple repositories with the same UUID, which could
result in problems later on if Subversion needs to ask the question
"is the repository at URL number 1 the same as the repository at URL
2?"
