Uncommitted, stale transactions and the nodes which hang off of them
are also arguably "temporary repository metadata" that 'svnadmin dump'
doesn't preserve, and yet we don't bother shaking those suckers out of
hotcopy'd repositories. A hotcopy is a just that, a copy, void of all
knowledge of repository internals, and should therefore assume that
everything in range in copy worthy. Hotcopy should copy the locks
tables.
