Editing dump files has always been the approach to fixing up mistakes in history. So I don't think we need a change in the FS backends. Instead we need better dump file editing capabilities. svndumptool might go part of the way. But ideally this would be built into svndumpfilter or a new offical tool that edits dump files (rather than just filtering nodes from a dumpfile).
