There is no such thing as "Linux4". I assume you mean RHEL 4, or
CentOS 4, or another packaged Linux distribution? In that case, you
should be able to shut down the web service or other access to your
repository, back it up, do a "svnadmin hotcopy" of the repository, and
use the new one as a plug-in replacement.

I like 1.6.x quite a lot. It's begun to try to address the security
failings of Subversion, namely the default storage of user passwords
in clear-text, by at least whinging about it before storing the
password.
