+</p>
+
+<p>The impact of this change is still under discussion. A brief, initial description follows.
+</p>
+
+<p>It has always been possible, in atypical cases, for a commit to mark a file as 'changed' without actually changing the file's text and/or properties to a different value. Starting from 1.9.0, <tt>svnadmin dump</tt> still outputs a record for such a file, including a header saying that the action is 'change', but no longer appends a block describing the new text for the file. (And similarly for properties, perhaps? TBD.) When <tt>svnadmin load</tt> (1.8 or 1.9) reads this dumpfile, it does not record any change in the repository for such a file.
+</p>
+
+<p>One user-visible effect is that, after dump and load, 'svn log -v' will no longer list the path of such a file in its list of 'changed paths'.
