I don't think TortoiseSVN is capable of accessing a BDB repository (since the required modules are not included in the default compilation settings - maybe you can get lucky if you find a really old version). Some more information on the bdb format: https://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#bdb-fsfs-convert

TortoiseSVN uses whichever Subversion was contemporary at the time it
was built, and may include bdb support. I believe contemporary
versions include BDB support for backwards compatibility. But it
sounds like your setup is due for some updates.
