It looks like there *is* a "gap": trunk1@4 is copied from trunk@1.
The commits at 2 and 3 don't affect the line of history that becomes
trunk5.

(Though I don't actually see anything in the docs for any of the
location segments function describing the "gap" segments; they're in
the code, though.)

btw, since dumps are binary files, I'd recommend attaching them
gzipped or something in the future.
