Ah, yes, I'm working on tests which ensure our loading of (old) dumpstreams.
Currently svnadmin_tests has no dumpstream tests at all. (Although I guess
the test-suite always tests the current version.)
While I'm at it I'll do 4 cases:

- Old v1
- v1
- v2
- v3 (delta's)

Tobias, I am actually also concerned with all those dump streams sitting on
tapes and other archival media somewhere. People will expect them to be
loadable, since we say it's *the* means of repository-independent storage.

bye,


Erik.

PS: Thanks for punting; if there are concerns that late, it can't be a good
change.
