I'd like to migrate my svn repository from my local computer running windows and VisualSVN 2.1.2 to an svn app on [webfaction](http://www.webfaction.com/) (my Linux hosting solution).

Initially I tried dumping the svn:

> 
> svnadmin dump *path\_to\_repository* > *dumpfile\_name*
> 
> 
> 

and loading it on the Linux machine

> 
> svnadmin load *dumpfile\_name*
> 
> 
> 

I received the following error:

> 
> svnadmin: Can't open file '*dumpfile\_path\_and\_name*/format': Not a directory
> 
> 
> 

I found that on my Windows machine I do have a format folder under the repository. So I copied the entire repository to the Linux machine and tried:

> 
> svnadmin load *path\_to\_repository\_copy*
> 
> 
> 

I received the following error:

> 
> svnadmin: Expected FS format between
>  '1' and '3'; found format '4'
> 
> 
> 

what should I do?
