Build the new server, install SVN, make sure it is working and configured the way you want, then just stop both servers, copy the entire repositories folder over to the new server and start it up. If you can use the same DNS hostname for the new server there will be no impact on your clients but if you change the name they will need to use svn relocate to change the URL. Only other thing to look out for is hook scripts that may exist in your repositories and any dependencies those scripts rely on that needs to be installed on the server. Mark
