I have dumped my repository on my old computer to a file with the command. svnadmin dump C:\myrepo/ > mydumpfile

Now I decided to use VisualSVN Server on my new computer as opposed to just a baseline subversion. How do I import my repository into VisualSVN Server?

Figured it out now that Andrew Clark pointed out there is a "All Tasks"

Repository -> All Tasks -> Open Command Prompt

svnadmin create repository-name
svnadmin load repository-name < repository-name.dmp
