I have tested it and I think you are mistaken here: running 'svnadmin1.7
hotcopy' on a 1.4-format FSFS repository produces another 1.4-format
FSFS repository.

[[[
% rm -rf t
% /usr/bin/svnadmin create t --pre-1.5-compatible
% cat t/**/format
2
5
% svntrunk
% svnadmin hotcopy t t2
% cat t2/**/format
2
5
% svnadmin --version
svnadmin, version 1.7.0 (dev build)
   compiled Jul 1 2010, 12:12:57
]]]

I suggest a dump|load instead.
