What do you really mean? svn list does not give you a list of repositories. It gives you a list of folders inside of *a* repostitory. So it looks like there is only one repository here, directly in /var/svn. Inside of that repository, you have a versioned directory also called var/svn. And inside there you have your proj1, proj2, and proj3 folders. > > I've tried to do an svnadmin dump and load with --parent-dir, and that > didn't work.

You want to remove the leading /var/svn components from all paths in the dump file. See here: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.reposadmin.maint.html#svn.reposadmin.maint.filtering The part that starts with: "At this point, you have to make a decision. Each of your dump files will create a valid repository, but will preserve the paths exactly as they were in the original repository." is the interesting part you should read especially carefully.
