Here's a new version w/ the BSD license:
http://free.linux.hp.com/~dannf/svn-load/svn-load-0.3.tar.gz
Functional changes include:
* Re-enabled an optimization that avoids recursing down newly
added subtrees, since they are already added in a batch
(Thanks to John Wright)
* Add --no-prompt option for non-interactive execution
* Add --wc option to use an existing working directory and bpass
the checkout step
* Don't checkout/remove the working dir for each import directory,
re-use it
* Use a commit message that resembles svn_load_dirs instead of the
informationless "commit" text
* Sanitize user provided directories, fixing a couple parsing bugs
fyi, my current plan is to upload this to Debian as a separate package
(could be merged into subversion later). If there's enough time, I may
ask the release managers to accept it into the upcoming 'etch'
release. That does make me somewhat nervous since, afaik, I'm the only
one who has done much testing with it - any reports (success and
failure) are very much welcome.

FWIW, I know that the svn-buildpackage has had a replacement that works well
enough for its intended purpose for some time now--I've been using it
constantly for maintaining my Debian packages. I don't know if how it
compares with other svn_load_dirs functionality, however.

No, I haven't heard back. For what its worth, I see a number of
debianisms in the svn-buildpackage tool (known as svn-inject), though
that's to be expected given the purpose of svn-buildpackage.
I also don't think its intended to be as general purpose as svn-load.
Note that there is also another potential contender known as vcs-load-dirs:
http://software.complete.org/vcs-load-dirs
It supports multiple revision control systems. Though the description
says it was "in response to Subversion's svn_load_dirs", svn is not
listed as one of the supported vcs systems (though svk is).

Dann, did you ever contact them? What's the current state of the onion?

The maintainers of svn-buildpackage (a set of programs used to make
maintaining Debian packages using Subversion easier) wrote a very simple
replacement for svn_load_dirs already; you might want to collaborate with
them.
