Re: should I/how do I migrate a 1.3 repository to a 1.4 repo?

I upgraded mine and got some decent disk space savings. It is easy to do:
svnadmin dump /svn/repos > repos.dump
mv /svn/repos /svn/repos.old
svnadmin create /svn/repos
svnadmin load --force-uuid /svn/repos < repos.dump

and you're done. You'll incur a downtime for repos access between the
second step and the last step.
