I suppose if I had svn server access, I could svn export an oldish revision (n), svn import to the new server, and then use svnadmin dump with -r n+1:HEAD and svnadmin load on the new server... But I don't have svn server access in this case - to either server. I could set one up, but then I'd only have access to part of the picture, and I'm not sure I have enough disk space if I try. Is there any other way? I might be able to coax an svn admin at this site to help, but that's relatively likely to hit some red tape. Is there a way of doing this without server access?
