Ooh! Here's a thought. What if we added a --dry-run option to
'svnadmin dump'? That way at least folks don't pay the cost of the
output I/O. Basically, this option would cause the "stream" passed to
svn_repos_dump to be NULL, and we'd just check for non-NULL before
each call to svn_stream_printf() and svn_stream_write() in
libsvn_repos/dump.c. Note that we'd still do the *read* of the
file/directory data, so we get the checksum verification. Also, we
still pass a valid "feedback_stream" to the function, so we can see
progress and warnings.
