This *almost* works. We decided not to go all the way.

The issue is that the first revision in each dumpfile is always a
tree-delta against revision 0, the empty filesystem. In other words,
it's a complete tree of "adds".

If you were to do this:

$ svnadmin dump 100 200 > dumpfile1
$ svnadmin dump 200 300 > dumpfile2

and then edit dumpfile2 to *remove* revision 200 (so that dumpfile2
begins with r201 as a tree-delta against r200), then

$ cat dumpfile1 dumpfile2 | svnadmin load repos

should work just fine.
