Perhaps something like --skip-hook-scripts with a default of skipping
all of them, but optionally taking a list of hooks to skip? Or the
other way around with --run-hook-scripts. Honestly I'm fine with it
the way it is though.

I prefer setrevprop. I think actually making commits to the
repository (other than the special case of dump/load) is outside the
realm of svnadmin, and should remain that way.
