svndumpfilter - dealing with copies from outside the filter path

From: Aaron Turner <synfinatic_at_gmail.com>

I'm trying to merge a subtree of one repository (repo1:/trunk/mydir)
to a directory in another repository (repo2:/trunk/foo/mydir).

From what I can tell, the process is:

svnadmin dump repo1 >dump
cat dump | svndumpfilter include /trunk/mydir >filtered.dump
cat filtered.dump | svnadmin load repo2 --parent-dir /trunk/foo

The problem is that when I run svndumpfilter I'm getting an error
regarding a svn copy where the source is outside of the path
/trunk/foo (it's from /features/bar)

I read in the svn manual that this is a known issue, and that to solve
it I need to "rethink my include/exclude" paths... but that sounds
like I basically need to list every path prefix which is the source of
a copy to /trunk/foo. Is that correct? Is there a way to trick svn
into thinking this are just plain "adds" instead of copy? Basically,
is there a way to not pollute repo2:/trunk/foo with a bunch of stuff I
don't need? I'm sure I'm not talking about 1 or 2 extra paths here...

Thanks,
Aaron
