Yes, that HOWTO appears to be old. Refer to the current versions' release notes instead. You should upgrade your repositories using "svnadmin upgrade". See: http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.5.html#repos-upgrades and: http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.6.html#repos-upgrades Refer to the "Minimum Repository" column of this table: http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.5.html#new-feature-compatibility-table and of this table: http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.6.html#new-feature-compatibility-table to see what features you're missing by not doing this.
