No, that is not correct. The previous answer from November 2006 will
give you a new repository at revision 1 which represents the state of
the old repository at its HEAD revision, which is what Bryan asked
about. I just tried it out again to verify that the solution is correct.

And that's what the solution I linked above provides.

Agreed.

The problem with the "svn export" strategy is that it loses all
Subversion properties, both revision properties and versioned
properties. The above dump/load solution does not have this drawback.
