Be careful not to sprain yourself in the process, though, and review the changes in authentication and access control you'll want to negotiate before the move. In general, I've found source control migrations to be an excellent opportunity to do a clean export and create a locked, read-only repository for the old materal. I also tend to *break* the history at migration time, and create a new, stripped down repositor with consistent setting of features like svn:ignore, svn:keywords, svn:executable, svn:mimetypes, or svn:externals. It can really help avoid confusion about the debris that tends to accumulate in an old source control system.
