Do you see anything wrong in the repository, or is it just the dump
format that seems odd?
The dump is not a text file.
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.reposadmin.maint.html#svn.reposadmin.maint.migrate
says:
"While the Subversion repository dump format contains human-readable
portions and a familiar structure (it resembles an RFC 822 format, the
same type of format used for most email), it is not a plain-text file
format. It is a binary file format, highly sensitive to meddling. For
example, many text editors will corrupt the file by automatically
converting line endings."
