I am doing a dump/load of a repository, and ran into an odd (fatal) error on the load:

<<< Started new transaction, based on original revision 209
svnadmin: E200020: Unable to parse reversed revision range '29584-200'

I figured this would be easy enough to fix by adding --bypass-prop-validation to the load, but I got the same error. I looked in the dump file, and sure enough, the rev numbers are backwards as stated. However, I don't understand why load would fail. I am just trying to do some repository migrations and I could care less whether those properties are correct or not, that's the users' problem (good attitude, eh? :) Shouldn't --bypass-prop-validation cover this validation as well?

I thought about correcting the property, but since it is a versioned property, I'm not sure how it can be fixed (without doctoring the svn dump file).

I tried this with both SVN 1.6.11 and 1.8.9. But both got the exact same error.

Is this a known problem (fixed since 1.8.9) or is there a workaround?

++thanks,
