You shouldn't even need to do a dump and load of the repo - if you  
just upgrade the Subversion on that box, it should work.

Alternatively, if you have the patience you can just run convert  
remotely - this is how I've been converting things in a 1.2.x-served  
repo and it's worked just fine. Just pass convert the http/svn+ssh/svn  
URL and it should work like a charm.
