Well, that, or provide a tool that fixes broken dump files enough to be acceptable to svnadmin load. I don't know if we have such a tool already (can contrib/server-side/svncutter do it?) - and indeed is there a canonical obviously correct interpretation for all the various things we check for that we didn't used to? Hmmm, even if svncutter can do it, it's currently in contrib, so we won't ship it in tarballs. The license header looks like it may not pass ASF muster, but I suppose ESR could be prevailed upon to permit the standard boilerplate. If this is something we'd want to move to tools/. -- Peter Samuelson | org-tld!p12n!peter | http://p12n.org/
