Migrate Subversion to new server, different versions

Question

I need to migrate a number of svn repos:

From: Linux 32-bit, svn 1.6.11

To: Linux 64-bit, svn 1.8.10

The repos are using fsfs file system db.

What is the best way to migrate the repos? I don't mind having downtime during the migration. Are there any implications going from 32-bit to 64-bit?

Can I install 1.8.10 on the destination and migrate direct to that? Or do I need to migrate to 1.6.11 and do an in-place upgrade to 1.8.10?

Thanks. when you say shortest do you mean quickest? Because I have 63GB to transfer and I know dump/load is really slow. – PowerApp101 Oct 24 '14 at 08:13
@MartinRennix - "shortest" is, well, *shortest in amount of handwork* - 3 non-interactive commands – Lazy Badger Oct 24 '14 at 11:40
