I have tested it and I think you are mistaken here: running 'svnadmin1.7 hotcopy' on a 1.4-format FSFS repository produces another 1.4-format FSFS repository. [[[ % rm -rf t % /usr/bin/svnadmin create t --pre-1.5-compatible % cat t/**/format 2 5 % svntrunk % svnadmin hotcopy t t2 % cat t2/**/format 2 5 % svnadmin --version svnadmin, version 1.7.0 (dev build) compiled Jul 1 2010, 12:12:57 ]]] I suggest a dump|load instead. > and compatible copy you should put in place of the old repository.
