You must remember that a) a dumpfile can be loaded into an existing,
non-empty repository, and b) the delta relationships in the repository
are quite a bit more complicated than the ones in the dump file. Take a
look at http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn-xml/trunk/notes/skip-deltas
which describes how we currently use deltas in the repository. Obviously
the dump file format must be independent of these details.
