title: svnadmin load error - File already exists
body: <p>I had a HDD with SVN repositories and it 'died'. Until I managed to recover it, I created new repositories on another HDD and committed all the files to the new repositories starting from revision 1 and losing all history.</p>
  
  <p>Now that I have recovered the old SVN repositories, I am trying to load the new repositories that I was working on in the meantime into the old repositories, so basically revision 1 of new repository must become revision 2456 of the old repository.</p>
  
  <p>When I'm running the <code>svnadmin load</code> command I'm getting the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;&lt;&lt; Started new transaction, based on original revision 1
       * adding path : ---------------- ...svnadmin: File already exists: filesystem 'C:\
  Repositories\repname\db', transaction '2788-25k', path '----------------'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any idea how I can 'merge' them? If it's even possible, of course...</p>
