Good for you! They should be working just fine if you used "svnadmin upgrade". What's not necessarily obvious to a new admin is that it can be worth doing a dump and reload, in order to take advantage of the more efficient storage now. This can particularly clean up logs with end-of-line whackiness, and significantly improve the performance of large repositories. The larger the repository, the longer this takes to do the dump and reload, of course.
