+Purpose of this branch:
+  Implement dump/load cross-checking in the test suite.
+
+Kind of branch:
+  Development branch -- regular catch-ups from trunk
+
+TODO before reintegrating to trunk:
+  - Put back the dumpfile parser's ability to check for certain expected
+    well-formedness characteristics of the dumpfile contents, as some
+    dump/load tests are relying on the parser to do that checking. It has
+    been temporarily downgraded here in favour of more generic parsing.
+
+  - Bypass authz when dumping with svnrdump, otherwise a partial dump is
+    obtained for tests using authz, making those tests fail.
+
+Ideas for improvement:
+  - Improve the logic for finding repositories created by a test: detect
+    when a test created a repository even if the sandbox is not marked as
+    'built'; detect when a test created additional repositories.
+
+  - Implement the same cross-checking for the C tests.
