Hi Brandon,
you can load older dumps into newer versions. So there should be no
reason to upgrade prior to the migration.
The only thing I'd consider is to upgrade the server to 1.6.23, since
1.6.11 is rather outdated on the 1.6 branch and therefore there might be
bugs in the dump logic which would have been fixed in a later 1.6 build
(I'm not particularly aware of any specific issue here --- just
suggesting a general I normally follow myself).
Obviously if there is no easy way to upgrade SVN to 1.6.23 on CentOS
5.8, I'd also skip that. Worst case, you will still have the original
repository backed-up so you can always replay the migration procedure.
Is an upgrade needed prior to migrating a repo if going to another
version of svn? I wonder if 1.9.3 is supported on CentOS 5.8

I am actually doing the same exact thing and this is the first time
I’ve upgraded SVN. The installer I got from WanDISCO and It seems
pretty self-explanatory. Our intention is to do an in-place upgrade
and then focus on transferring from RHEL6 to RHEL7 later and probably
move from authenticating from FreeIPA to Active Directory. If you have
any tips on upgrading I’d appreciate that as well!

Hello All.
I am working on a project to migrate a repo to a new server that is
more up-to-date and runs a newer OS and newer version of subversion.
I've done this before, between similar versions of subversion. I was
wondering, are there any got ya's that I should be aware of regarding
migration a 1.6.11 svn to 1.9.3? Does it matter much the different
versions? Does anyone have any insight and experience they'd like to
share?
Many Thanks.
