Basically, anything with an svn:mime-type property set to a non-text
type,
for example "application/octet-stream", isn't going to be automagically
merged.

See
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn-book.html#svn.ref.svn.c.switc
h for example of using svn switch with --relocate:
svn switch URL [PATH]
switch --relocate FROM TO [PATH...]
"This subcommand updates your working copy to mirror a new URL-usually a
URL which shares a common ancestor with your working copy, although not
necessarily. This is the Subversion way to move a working copy to a new
branch. See the section called "Traversing Branches" for an in-depth
look at switching."

You probably want to hotcopy to a backup repo and put that on the CD.
This would be a good time to peruse the svn book
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/
It's a good read and chock-full of subversion-y goodness! :)
