This is not necessary, you can switch one client first, then other
clients and finally switch the server. BTW: 1.7 is still not yet
released, though it's really really close now, AFAICT.

Yes, your approach is correct. I'd suggest testing that though, e.g. by
using a separate system.

This is not mandatory, but the organisation of the repository changed to
the better in recent versions, so a dump and reload is strongly
suggested. In particular things like merge tracking have improved, IIRC.

Well, an "svnadmin verify" hopefully doesn't modify the repository.

Good luck!
