Using dump/load to emulate 'obliterate' for a master repository which
is the source for a mirrored repository may or may not hork up any
subsequent svnsync (I think "not" is more likely, if you avoid
modifying the revnums to account for the filtered revision(s)), but it
definitely won't propogate the 'obliterate'.
That said, you're going to have similar problems with your change log
emails, and any web-based email archives of them (which you may or may
not control).
This "oops, I committed proprietary IP where I shouldn't have" problem
definitely isn't unique to your situation. It's a tough one to deal
with. :)
