Actually, trick question -- I was about to say svn copy -- but you can't use
svn copy between two different repositories, instead:

You use the *svnadmin dump* command to generate the dump data, and *svnadmin
load* to populate a new repository with it (see the section called
“Migrating a Repository”<http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch05s03.html#svn-ch-5-sect-3.5>
).
