Well, you do not have to do anything, but ...
I always "svnadmin dump | svnadmin load" using the old and new binaries.
In particular with a 1.2 -> 1.4 upgrade, this will result in smaller
repositories due to improvements in the xdelta differencing algorithm.
The script I use for this task is attached. (You probably want to ignore
the last line that mucks with svnserve.conf as this is something
specific to how I manage my repos.)
