... migrate an existing SVN repository from Berkeley DB to FSFS

You can use the svnadmin command which comes with the Subversion package for that.

  • First you have to run svnadmin dump path/to/repository > dumpfile
  • Then delete the repository you've got, create a new one in the FSFS format svnadmin create path/to/repository --fs-type FSFS
  • Next, load the dumpfile back into the new repository svnadmin load path/to/repository < dumpfile

Detailed instructions can be found in the Subversion book.
