To move a subversion repository just dump the repository.
\nHere is a little script to dump all \/var\/svn repositories to their own portable dump.gz file:<\/p>\n
#!\/usr\/bin\/perl<\/p>\n
## backup each repository in \/var\/svn to a file dirname.svn.dmp.gz
\n## and push to repository<\/p>\n$single = shift;<\/p>\n
$DIR = \u201c\/var\/svn\u201d;
\nopendir(DH,\u201d\/var\/svn\u201d);<\/p>\nwhile ( $repo = readdir(DH) ) {
\n next if $repo =~ \/\\.\/g;
\n next unless $repo =~ \/$single\/;
\n $cmd = \u201csvnadmin dump $DIR\/$repo | gzip -c > \/repository\/tcg_backup\/$repo.dmp.gz\u201d;
\n print \u201c\\n$cmd\u201d;<\/p>\nsystem($cmd);<\/p>\n
