Just an FYI, if you need to change a lot of svn:author entries, you
can use svndumptool (the python version):

svnadmin dump path/to/my/repo > repo.dump

svndumptool transform-revprop svn:author originalregexp newvalue
repo.dump newrepo.dump

NOTE: originalregexp is a regular expression, so it will match in the
middle of strings, use "^original$" to anchor it if needed. NOTE TO
NOTE: use ^^ on windows because ^ is magic on the command line.

Then load newrepo.dump (and move the hooks/ and conf/ from the other repo).
