moving a svn repository

[n dhert]

On a FreeBSD machine which the svn software installed, repositories for
different projects exist.
Such a repository looks as a directory with subdirs and files.

One user wants the SVN repository of one project to be transferred to a
different machine (which had
exactly the same FreeBSD version and exactly the same version of the svn
software).

Is it possible to simply make a tar file of the directory of the svn
repository, transfer that to the other machine
and there untar it in the home-directory that the user has on that other
machine and use it without further ado ?
