Are you doing this for performance? I doubt you will see any improvements even if you did not care about the revision numbers and just created a new repo with a handful of revisions. SVN performance is not impacted by the number of revisions with the only exception being the tools you use to backup and restore the repository. If anything, having a single revision with a lot of changes in it hurts performance of some commands. For example svn log -v is really harmed by having a single revision with a lot of changed paths.
