What is the problem with 'svnadmin load'?

It uses SHA1 and MD5 to verify that the data is valid
but will not detect intended changes that transformed
the dump stream from one valid / consistent state to
another. Apart from that, the FS backend should now
handle collisions just fine.

With FSFS and FSX fixed in /trunk (FSX not with the
backport IMO), there is only the wc issue left. Not sure
how much efficiency we want to sacrifice there. For
instance, switching between branches will become
expensive again.
