If you just stop the svn service and do a file-system copy you'll get the same result. So long as you drop the repo into the repo directory it should get served up no problem. I don't use the berkley db though so it perhaps its not that simple in all cases. hotcopy is just freezes the repo state at request and makes a copy to avoid copying things that are in an inconsistent state (ie, a commit in progress).
