(This is getting to be another thread entirely...)
The dumper is about dumping the filesystem's contents, nothing else.
It's an fs dump, not a repos dump. It's not about backups, or
transporting whole repositories from place to place.
If you wanted a script to do that, that script would probably use the
dumper/loader to do part of its job.

I don't mean to be overly harsh, but ideas are not exactly rare around
here. It's more important for us to decide what *not* to implement
than decide what to implement. In other words, please look at the
issues database and consider solving some of those problems, rather
than adding new potential bug sources :-).
I'm not saying ideas are bad, but ideas without code are not going to
be very compelling right now. We have too much to do for Alpha, and
then Beta, ... and then 1.0.
