Yes it is... I just posted a question (see "Pruning a repository") about
how to prune a repository of unwanted revisions, and the only option seems
to be to use dump, which would change the revision numbers if not used
properly.

Subversion needs a simpler mechanism to allow paths or revisions to be
removed from the repository so that one can manage a repository's growth.
