There is a problem though if what you delete is referenced later on in the
dump, then the load will fail.
Unfortunately, this did not work. I was able to split the file into
smaller, editable pieces, cut out the bad revision, and paste it all back
together. However, when I attempted to start loading at the revision
following the bad one, I got checksum mismatches. So I tried again with a
new repository and tried to load a new dump file with everything in it
except the bad revision (so it started from 0 again), and this time it
failer even earlier than before, but again with a checksum mismatch. Ugh.
Subversion is a great tool overall, but getting this particular process to
work has been utterly frustrating and ridiculously slow, not to mention
error-prone, with no real explanation for the failing behaviors.
Is there any chance of getting the original repository to upgrade or to
get a file-level copy so you could do a server upgrade on the copy? It
is always painful to try to work around bugs that have long been fixed.
