dump recent/create/load retaining old revision numbers?

[Darren Grant <dg...@kerberos-productions.com>]

Hi,

I recently did a couple dump/load cycles to upgrade a repository and 
backup/eliminate very old revisions.  Is it possible to load a dump file 
into a new repository so that the original revision numbers are 
retained?  My goal is to make these changes with minimal client disruption.

Of course, that's the norm.  'svnadmin load' just replays every commit 
in the dumpfile into a repository.  So if you dump a repository, then 
load into an newly created repository (i.e. one that starts out empty), 
you end up with exactly the same revision numbers.  If you load into a 
pre-populated repository, then all the revision numbers will be 
shifted.
