Reading Berkeley DB in subversion 1.7

Question

I have a legecy subversion database that uses the Berkeley DB for the format. When I load the current Windows binaries (1.7.x) for Subversion, none of the distributions appear to support Berkeley DB out of the box. So, since I don't have a copy of the earlier verion of Subversion, how can I retrieve the data? I don't mind converting to FSFS, but I can't do the initial dump since Subversion isn't able to read it (error message "Failed to load module for FS type 'bdb'.").

Any suggestions on what I can download to retrive my data? Thanks.

You will need to find an older release of Subversion, or find a current build which does support BDB. Getting away from BDB is a wise move.

Try 1.6.x from CollabNet
