Currently Subversion doesn't support operations between multiple
repositories. You can use "svnadmin dump" and "svnadmin load" to copy
repositories, or you can export a WC and import it to another
repository.

Probably there are some *ugly hacks* possible with SVK; you could create
a local copy, modify the remote repository path and do an "svk push".
Probably this would merge your local copy back to the new repository.
But I haven't tried it yet.

In all cases you will totally loose any history between both
repositories because they are completely seperate.

That's the reason why I restructured my Subversion server and put all
projects into one big repository. I keep seperate repositories only for
purposes which I am very sure that there can't be any dependencies, e.g.
my private photo collection.

With best regards
