It means that there is data in your current dump that depends on
revisions prior to the first revision in that dump, so you'd better
have that data around somewhere. I think generally happens in the
presence of copies, but I can't recall the exact recipe.
I considered turning this warning off for --incremental dumps, but in
the end, decided not to do so.
