You can dump, filter and load to get the subset corresponding to one
project, then filter again and load again to get the subset
corresponding to the other project. See svndumpfilter. However, some
things might break: do you have any externals pointing into the current
repository? They'll need to be updated when it goes away. Do you have
comments referring to specific revision numbers? Make sure you retain
the old numbers when you filter and reload.
