Thank you for your answers. Currently I've setup svnsync and I am doing test run of synchronizing repositories. I will have a small window to migrate repositories. Using the svnsync gives me possibility to do major job before the change window and then final sync during the change.
In this step I have some doubts whether users will have possibility to relocate their local copies to new repository on new server. The first step of sync procedure is to create fresh repository, I am afraid that it will have different ID and svn will say “its not the same repository” I will test it but you are welcome to give me your comments. I have about 400 repositories to migrate. Svnsync showed about 60 -70 hours to sync all repos.
