The hash ordering of nodes in dump files was considered a bug: http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4134 and is fixed in recent versions. As far as I can see we do not document the order in: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/notes/dump-load-format.txt -- Philip Martin | Subversion Committer WANdisco // *Non-Stop Data*
