That was me.

The current implementation seems to be as simple as possible and doing
it's job. So don't waste time for a feature only one person requested
(except you have other reasons to do so).

I've implemented my own code for reading and writing dump files and a
the merge tool.

It's implemented in 3 nice python classes and they are pretty
fast. Merging 2 dump files was much faster than loading them
into a repository over file://.
You can find them at http://queen.borg.ch:81/subversion/

Sorry for the advertisement and noise.
