Dealing with very old repo format (version 1)

Does anyone have any tips on how to upgrade a very old repo? The db/format lists "1". A 1.8 svn client cannot hotcopy, dump or "svnadmin upgrade" such an old repo, all of which fail with "svnadmin: E720002: Can't open file 'devel\db\current': The system cannot find the file specified."

Do I need find a really old svn client (1.3?) and upgrade? Do I need to manually create the db/current file?

Supposedly , a format of "1" is from pre-svn 1.0. https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/subversion/libsvn_repos/repos.h -> "Formats 0, 1 and 2 were pre-1.0."
