I did something similar but I didn't edit the dumpfile, I just dumped
all revisions except the import, 'svn dump 0:importrev-1', note that I
could do this without a problem since I didn't do any changes to the
repository after the import. I can't say it will work if you have done
stuff to the repository after the import, but it might work to do:
svn dump 0:importrev-1 > tmp1
svn dump importrev+1:lastrev > tmp2
and the svn load those files.
Would that work you guys who know? It would be alot easier than handedit
the dumpfile...
