title: How to move SVN repository in hard disk
body: <p>I have an SVN repository on my hard disk in a directory like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/home/Desktop/path/to/old_repo
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I need to move this repository to another place </p>
  
  <pre><code>/home/Downloads/path/to/new_repo
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>an remove all the files in the old directory. I tried using <code>svnadmin dump</code>, then <code>svn create</code> and <code>svn load</code>, but when I remove the <code>old_repo</code> folder they stop working. In fact, they do not contain any piece of code and just give me some information about <code>log</code> and <code>status</code>.</p>
  
  <p>How can I move this repository to a completely different location having it work independently (I want to remove the old one)?</p>
