reassign 500544 libsvn1
retitle 500544 subversion: "svnadmin dump --deltas" gives too much output if 
data have been prepended to a big file
severity 500544 wishlist
forwarded 500544 http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3353
found 500544 1.7.5-1
thanks

The explanations have been given here:

  
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/subversion-dev/201206.mbox/%3C4FE39DCA.3020104%40web.de%3E

and why it is difficult to have a simple improvement:

  
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/subversion-dev/201206.mbox/%3C4FE5DD74.4070504%40apache.org%3E

In practice, this typically occurs when data have been prepended to a
large file (as in a ChangeLog file).

Since this is a limitation of the delta algorithm and the behavior is
intended with this limitation, I'm downgrading the bug to wishlist.

I've also changed the forwarded address (the old address corresponded
to a dead discussion), since more references are there, and possible
improvements may be mentioned there (though this one is more a bug
about the documentation).
